Thanks ;-). Inded, yokadi is quite geek. That's not your grandma todolist ;-)

That was not one of the goals, but it could be enhance in that way. First, as 
Yoakdi use a database and not a hacky text file it could be multi instanciated 
without any hassle. I have very often 2 ou 3 instance of yokadi opened on the 
same database.
We don't care very much about lock and concurent access but sqlite locking 
mechanism is quite safe (with drawback on perf side of course, but that's not 
an issue for yokadi).

Beside, some users asks to plug yokadi on popular web based tasks/idea system 
like Hiveminder for instance. Why not.

It's sqlite, not mysql. But anyway, I think sqlite need to have a local file, 
at least a filesystem that support lock. I don't know if it works with NFS ou 
CIFS (samba) but I doubt sshfs and other fuse fs can do that. 
This needs to be confirmed and is only an sqlite issue.

Main goal is to have local and transportable database. But we could add 
"remote project" as said above with hivemonder or own mechanism. Webdav or 
appropriate webservice REST like would be one of the good solution.

You can plug a web inteface on sqlite. You only have to make it local. 

If you just want to publish (readonly) your tasks, you can already do that. 
Just cron
yokadi t_list -o mytasks.html and push the file with ssh, rsync or whatever.
