Re: Org Mode TOOD two way sync tool

[Christopher Allan Webber <cwebber@dustycloud.org>]

Hey Aurélien,

This is great.  I formerly worked on something similar:

http://labs.creativecommons.org/2010/11/10/bridging-public-bugtrackers-and-local-tasklists/

However... my solution was pretty hacky.

I'd be interested to see if you come up with a generic solution that
could have mapppings for multiple bugtrackers, and that could sync with
bugtracking states so if the bug gets closed, the TODO does also, or at
least that it warns as such, etc.
