Subject: roundtrip integration with Asana?
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:46:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <394BD125-8D2D-4305-BE41-98C902FC7DAD@gmail.com> (raw)

I use org for personal task management, but I use asana.com with my workgroup.

I just learned that Asana offers an API that exposes all the usual interfaces.
http://developers.asana.com/documentation/

Roundtrip integration between org and Asana is therefore possible.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have thought about this... which approach would be the preferred architecture for achieving such integration?

I can imagine writing, say, a bunch of Perl scripts using WWW::Asana, to act as a gateway between text file and web API. As far as org and emacs are concerned, the text files magically update themselves, and no additional elisp need be written.

I can also imagine native org-mode extensions that talk directly to asana, in the same way that org2blog/wp talks directly to Wordpress. Until emacs gets threading support, though, blocking HTTP IO operations might seriously inconvenience one's editing.

Which approach do you think is preferable?
