Related to bug 111218 for Mylar: Prototype transfer of task context to a buddy
Going to work on shared task system via Mylar
Scott, what are you planning for this, or are you indicating that it is already working? One thing we had prototyped last summer was the sharing of a full task list via an ECF-like Jabber client. That didn't work too well because the Task List itself belongs to an individual, can have the individual's private notes, etc. However, there could be a subtype of Task, e.g. SharedTask, that shows up in multiple workspaces in a peer-to-peer mode. Sort of parallel to how BugzillaTask is shared in server mode. Regarding integration with Eclipse's 'Tasks' view, here's a summary of how Mylar overlaps with it: http://www.eclipse.org/mylar/doc/faq.php#eclipse-views-tasks

No, we've been doing a fair amount with the ECF 'datashare' API...which the delivery of arbitrary data among a group within a collaboration session, but I would like very much to integrate this with your notion of SharedTask described below. We are looking to prototype a number of 'shared editors' for doing real-time collaborative editing of different model types (e.g. for doing shared editing of java src, EMF models, etc). I would like to have a simple 'shared task' editor...one that let teams add/modify/share task lists (with, obviously, some notion of scoping the sharing appropriately. > > One thing we had prototyped last summer was the sharing of a full task list via > an ECF-like Jabber client.

Sorry for the slow reply. There are two things to consider sharing: 1) tasks: stored as a single XML node in a tasklist.xml file 2) context: stored as an XML file There's a 1-1 correspondence between each. To get started on this, I think it would be best if you gave Mylar a whirl to get a sense of its notion of tasks by using it for Bugzilla reports. Then we could use this report to brainstorm what it would mean to share tasks. Note that even for shared tasks such as Bugzilla reports Mylar stores local info (e.g. your own reminders, estimates, notes), so it will be interesting to figure out which kind of data should be shared/replicated, and which is local.
changing title and setting target milestone for 2.1
Reassigning and resetting target milestone. This should have been done long ago.
Although it's still clear to me that what's requested in this bug would be a great feature...both for Mylyn and ECF...ECF has no resources to work on this, and I don't see any sign of that changing in the near future. So I'm closing was wontfix. If this reasoning is incorrect/wrong from the perspective of anyone that's listening, then please reopen.
