Description

kind:rfc

Praefectus should support working with multiple nodes. There'll be multiple node from the very beginning: there'll be a Taskwarrior node (with import/export capabilities), and a Praefectus user-facing node (so the user may customize/change the tasks imported from Taskwarrior, with the changes eventually being synchronized back to Taskwarrior).

Here're the questions we'll need to solve while designing this stuff:

  • should task attributes belong to individual nodes and/or to node types and/or to the global namespace?
  • how the attributes should be merged if multiple nodes have changed the same attribute?
  • should we provide a pluggable/configurable merge algorithms?

Depends on:

  • #6 (since we need to decide on the sorts of information we store in Praefectus first)
  • #7 (since we need to know how the branching/merging will work before applying it to the multi-node practice)
