-We try to implement as many aspects of personal information management (PIM),

+The initial approach is to use one PIM tool for one module.

-Helper modules that come with `imag` but are not "PIM aspects":

-* viewing entries
-* tagging entries
-* creating misc entries
-* creating entries that refer to files/directories
