#* Integration with the Calendar component - allow for cross application interaction
#* Import/export from web Contact apps - namely Google Contact, Yahoo Address Book etc.
#* Allow user added fields (e.g. 4 mobile phone numbers if needed, 2 URLs for home an private website) - [[User:asys3|asys3]]
#* Either allow multiple format masks for fields like phone numbers or do not enforce a format on them.

=== ToDo List ===
#* Items should have start date, completion date, priority, tags as well as description and completed.
#* Should optionally be finger-friendly (especially relevant for to-do lists)
#* Subtasks/Projects
#* Integration with sites like ToodleDo or RememberTheMilk.
#* Recurring tasks
#* Categorized/tagged filtered view

=== General/shared features ===
SIMPLE views for the UI dialogs. most of the time as a user I do not require all these things, yes we '''need''' them there, but an option to dumb down or remove the extra stuff would be really important to me.
* for instance, most todo items for me simply need a description, once they are on the list I know they need doing

--[[User:lcuk|lcuk]] 22:25, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Allow items to be tagged with more than one tag and allow filtering on multiple tags.
* So, a contact may work for Company X, be alumnus of school Y and be a part of SIG A. I would like to be able to assign tags "X", "Y", and "SIG A" and later filter on any of these tags to find all my contacts who work for "X" and were once in "Y" etc.

== Status of current PIM apps ==

Could we list what's good and what's missing in the various current PIMs?
Might give us an idea of where to start improving things (especially for those who've not used all of them)

I've started with a few apps I could find, there are doubtless others, please add them (and urls, and change the urls there if there's something better)
