Where is the software????

wikiGTD is David Allen's "Getting Things Done" system implemented as a MediaWiki plugin. Getting Things Done (GTD) is a productivity enhancing system that allows a user to keep track of his various goals, projects, to-dos, and priorities with a minimum of hassle and processing.

[edit] What wikiGTD Does

Manage all of your actions on a wiki - Project-related or not, Next Actions or not - in a coherent way that doesn't involve you synchronizing them across pages

Manage your contexts - You can add, edit, and delete contexts to organize your Next Actions in a way that makes sense to you

Manage your projects - You can create projects, add actions to them (whether they are Next Actions or not), and promote Project actions to Next Actions with a single click - and have your Next Actions list updated automatically

Mark Projects as active or inactive

Allow you to configure the site in the way that suits you - all Next Actions can be on one page, or broken out one context per page, or divided into work-related and personal contexts - you can set it up however you please.

[edit] What wikiGTD Doesn't Do

wikiGTD is a small piece of software written for a narrow purpose, and there's a lot it doesn't do. These are things I'm not going to attack right away:

  • Security. This software was written for use of my private, locked-down wiki. It doesn't protect against XSS attacks, DHTML insertion, SQL insertion attacks, or wanton deletion of data. If you don't know what any of that means, you might want to wait until I release a more robust version.
  • Action content is not searchable via the MediaWiki search box - it's stored in a separate database, so MediaWiki doesn't know about it.
  • Wiki markup is not interpreted. This is an unfortunate technical limitation in MediaWiki. If this is a problem for you (and I don't blame you), address complaints to the MediaWiki developers.
  • There is currently no input validation. At all.
