Re: yet another todo editing system

[Joe Corneli]

Dear Kai,

I tried out Emacs Wiki last night.  And yes it is rather like what I
have.

The two most obvious differences are

            * Wiki is based on a plain text format
whereas
            * Todo is based on a list format

- and -

            * Todo can have links with arbitrary text labels
whereas
            * Wiki CanOnlyHaveLinksWithLabelsLikeThis

Another difference:

            * Todo encourages fairly arbitrary "markup" 
whereas
            * Wiki says "The general idea is to write plain ASCII."

As for Todo's "up" feature, you do understand it.  When you insert a
link from page A to page B in Todo, page B automatically adds a "hidden"
link to page A.  This makes it possible for to conveniently determine at
any moment the clients of a given list.  "Up" just means "change focus
to one of the clients".
