|

|
||||
We try to implement as many aspects of personal information management (PIM),
|
||||
but re-use existing commandline tools.
|
||||
We do this by tracking/referring to the data the tools create.
|
||||
A user can now link pieces of data (from different tools), tag this data and
|
||||
query/search this data using imag.
|
||||
So `imag` is more like a data-mining helper than an actual PIM tool, but we
|
||||
implement some of the PIM aspects directly in `imag`.
|
||||
Parts of PIM (we call them "modules") that are already implemented and basically
|
||||
working:
|
||||
imag is a PIM _helper_. We do not actually implement the PIM functionality, but
|
||||
try to interface with existing PIM tools (via their API or via some standard
|
||||
format they use, e.g. vcard) to make the data they manage _linkable_
|
||||
and _queryable_ in an uniform way.
|
||||
|
||||
* todo (via taskwarrior, we track the tasks one creates in taskwarrior)
|
||||
* diary
|
||||
* notes
|
||||
* bookmarks
|
||||
* counter (just an example, nothing that usable)
|
||||
|
||||
Helper modules that come with `imag` but are not "PIM aspects":
|
||||
|
||||
* linking entries
|
||||
* viewing entries
|
||||
* tagging entries
|
||||
* creating misc entries
|
||||
* creating entries that refer to files/directories
|
||||
imag consists of _modules_ (e.g. `imag-notes`, `imag-diary`), where each module
|
||||
covers one PIM aspect.
|
||||
The initial approach is to use one PIM tool for one module.
|
||||
So you can use `imag-todo` with [taskwarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/)
|
||||
but `imag-calendar` with [icalendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar)
|
||||
files.
