RE: [mylar-dev] dev build

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Here's the bug report, which was resolved for LATER in February.  I'm
reopening it since some good points are raised on this discussion.  I doubt
that we will be able to get to this for 1.0 but we should continue
discussing the tradeoffs.

explore making local tasks be a repository
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124321

One thing that I think we need to keep in mind is maintaining a simple UI
for working with local tasks that does not have the overhead of working with
repository tasks, and that makes it clear that the tasks are personal and
not shared.  It's possible that we can do this with a local repository.
However, could those who would like to see this mode supported please
comment which features you would like to see on a local repository?  I'm not
sure if attachments are a good idea because the point of contexts is to
associate things implicitly with tasks.  The comment thread could make sense
for a kind of personal journaling functionality, and could be used to
address this request:

Timestamp button for Notes on the personal task page
