We try to implement as many aspects of personal information management (PIM), imag is a PIM _helper_. We do not actually implement the PIM functionality, but
but re-use existing commandline tools. try to interface with existing PIM tools (via their API or via some standard
We do this by tracking/referring to the data the tools create. format they use, e.g. vcard) to make the data they manage _linkable_
A user can now link pieces of data (from different tools), tag this data and and _queryable_ in an uniform way.
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:
* todo (via taskwarrior, we track the tasks one creates in taskwarrior) imag consists of _modules_ (e.g. `imag-notes`, `imag-diary`), where each module
* diary covers one PIM aspect.
* notes The initial approach is to use one PIM tool for one module.
* bookmarks So you can use `imag-todo` with [taskwarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/)
* counter (just an example, nothing that usable) but `imag-calendar` with [icalendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar)
files.
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
