No, I think it's ok to include this in the current 1to2 update.

Github can host wiki pages. This could be enough to get started. But I 
am not sure it can hosts tarballs.

@Simon: Maybe Sequanux can host the tarballs (and the site)?

No. I mean finishing the documentation you can find in the header of 
update.py. It should include some tagging policy for example.

It's not exactly what I have in mind. My idea is something like this:

yokadi> t_add my new task
Project 'my' does not exist.
(c)reate it, (e)dit line, c(a)ncel?

You mean you can mark task done by name? interesting.
What I have in mind is a bit different: I just want Yokadi to output the 
name of the task marked as done, so that you could revert if you entered 
the wrong id.
In the case of t_remove, it should issue a confirmation message, which 
would include the task title.

Ohhh, yet another bug introduced by YokadiParser I guess. Any idea on 
the way to handle this one?

This can probably be implemented as a git post-commit hook.

Yes, I think we can get 1.0 out without i18n for now. Especially given 
our target audience :)

Hum... I have been lagging a bit with regards to my Yokadi evangelism 
duties... the Yokadi community (as I know it) is only three people at 
the moment :)
