Re: org-toodledo : sycning org-mode and Toodledo

Sven,

I have been playing with this today as well and can't get DEADLINES
to work.  How did you do it?  When I set a deadline in org and sync
it doesn't show up in Toodledo.

In fact, I set a Start Date in Toodledo and did an update and
my Scheduled date in org went away.
