Taskpaper[1]: a simple text file that has conventions for tagging, search, filtering, etc.

I'm building an enhanced text editor that makes viewing/editing taskpaper files more convenient:

  - Interactive programmatic access via an embedded scripting console
  - GUI for creating/editing tasks and tags (like calendar widget, autocomplete)
  - Enhanced views, for example:
    - Calendar view
    - Priority view (automatically sorted by @due(DATE) tags)
    - Bookmarks view
    - HTML "linkified" view
  - Recurring tasks
Some other influences besides Taskpaper:

  - Bkmks [2]
  - Drafts app [3]
  - Simplenote [4]
  - Notational Velocity [5] 
I originally tried to build an enhanced editor for Todo.txt files[6], but the format was too limiting.
