Tasky is now Tasque

Many of you probably know, but just in case you didn't, "Tasky" has been renamed to "Tasque." We're still waiting for a proper Bugzilla and mailing list hosted by GNOME. Until then, you can get more information about the project at http://live.gnome.org/Tasque and join us in #tasque on GimpNet.

Yesterday, Calvin and I showed Tasque to the Brainshare '08 crowd at Friday's General Session. Tasque performed flawlessly. Calvin wrote up an excellent summary of how it went.

Earlier this week, we created a "cache" branch in SVN where we've started work to have the UI work directly against data stored locally in an SQLite DB. This will allow tasks to be accessed and modified without a network connection. The interface that backends (like RTM, Evolution, or Novell T+C) will implement should be much easier since they'll no longer have to manage a TreeModel.
