Over the last years I am using Mylyn I am wondering all time why the Local task is so limited and different
from the great other connectors, e.g. for Bugzilla (reference implementation) and others.

h1. Steps to create a better local task connector

# Copy code of the most complete reference connector, e.g. Bugzilla
# Remove all the code for remote access and convert it into local storage
# Remove all code related for multi-user operation since the only person changing this task is me
# Strip other feature which do not make sense for local tasks...

The result would be a local task connector which
* supports attachments
* supports WikiText formatting with preview
* supports comments (without user name, but with detailed timestamp including date and time)

On top of that there could be a minimal query support which e.g. matches on title, description or
comment content, "has attachment", time range created/last updated/closed etc.
