[Vimoutliner] VimOutliner as a task manager?

[Fredrik]

Yes the context is actual places or areas where you can do stuff.... so
for example this could be a typical project list :

[_] % New Computer
	: Buy a new computer to replace my server
	[_] Ask John what is the best computer right now @Phone
	[_] Check account to see what I can afford @Inet
	Buy the new compter at best price @Inet

Now regrouping this I get the following :

@Inet
        [_] Check account to see what I can afford {New Computer}
        Buy the new compter at best price {New Computer}

@Phone
        [_] Ask John what is the best computer right now {New Computer}

[_] % New Computer
        : Buy a new computer to replace my server

So if I have everything in front of me I just pick a task to work on but
say that I am in my car I just pick tasks from the @Phone context etc...

Under the @Inet context I have two things where the first one I can do
right away but the second one is on hold. I need to know what computer I
want before I can hunt down the best price...

Hope this explains it a bit more...
