Open Source To Do Lists

Joi has opened his To Do List on a wiki page.  Heath Row calls it Gutsy. Fun. And potentially more productive.

I do the same in our company wiki, calling it "TTD Ross" (as in Things To Do) and keep it as the first bookmark in my browser.  I really appreciate when others do the same.  While I wish others would do some of the things on my list, it does help to share.

This practice is quite interesting. Where does this lead us? How will public institutions or a local government apply a similar approach? For instance, how will public wikis for cities lead to more efficient forms of public management?

Another issue is that we might have a need for graded wikis where some people see all of the To Do list, while others, who do not have the password, see mostly the public sphere items. That way the author keeps one list, and can give the login keys to those who need it.

Interesting, thanks.

Joi's list is surprisingly short.

We do it internally at Rojo too.

I have KevinWishList which tracks everything I'm working on and want to see implemented. Everyone else pretty much does the same thing and it works out pretty well.

I've been maintaining my to-do list on-line since April of 1999. It's also a what I've seen/done list. While I was at the W3C, I used it as a bookmarking application with various arbitrary categories, automatic weekly-status/2minute generator, and each category, or all of them, was available as a RSS feed to team members. Now, as a lonely grad student, it's mostly a to-do and searchable bookmark collection for me. Both it (I called it busyspunge [1]) and MindMap extract [2] are searchable on-line which is fantastic for my addled memory.
