RE: [mylyn-dev] Checklists with Mylyn

["Mik Kersten" <mik@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We consider this additional planning functionality (e.g., check lists,
product/release plans) to fall outside of the scope of Mylyn, but do
prioritize integration with such tools.  For example, we want to make sure
that you can always create a checklist or plan, and be able to link Mylyn
tasks/bugs/issues as part of that plan.

The challenge is that with Mylyn alone, we can only supported structured
links within Eclipse.  This is one of the reasons why the new WikiText
component was so relevant to the project.  It will soon allow you to create
a wiki markup checklist that has task references like "bug 123". 

The story changes when you make the Eclipse the default browser, which is
exactly what Tasktop does on Windows.  You can put a hyperlink to any task
in a web repository into any application.  I do this all the time, linking
tasks from both wiki pages and apps like Microsoft Excel and Project, and
having the URLs resolve instantly in Mylyn's task editor, whether I'm online
or not.
