“etm is an acronym for Event and Task Manager. It provides a simple, intuitive format for using plain text files to store data, a command line interface for viewing stored information in a variety of convenient ways”

Yes, please, if it’s not too inconvenient. I don’t speak for everyone, but some people would probably prefer to work with “stable” releases. Not that it makes a big difference, but with some projects, I have poor luck working out of subversion — seems things break or end up unbuildable more often. If a developer takes a snapshot when things work how they want, and bundles it and calls it “0.0.1″ or something, it’s a little more predictable. At least for me, with my rather weak ability to troubleshoot things. … :| Cheers!

I’m the author of doneyet. Thanks for the kind words! I’d happily supply a tarball of releases for doneyet. I don’t think I can do it for every revision, but major ones certainly. Would that be desirable?

Gabe

Every time I find a new application for the console, I see another that was designed after it, branched away from it or was rebuilt from scratch to mimic it. I daresay I find them at a rate of one or two a day, and add them to the stack. [...]

I felt like I should reciprocate, so I updated (since way too long) my own blog. :)

There are a number of other command line task managers that I know of, most of which are very simple.

* todo.pl: http://bestpractical.typepad.com/worst_impractical/2006/09/todopl_or_how_i.html

* task and Taskwarrior: http://taskwarrior.org/projects/show/taskwarrior/

And some Vim scripts:
