[Vimoutliner] VO-based todo manager: tkdo 0.2

[Steve Litt]

This sounds incredibly useful once it's understood (I don't yet understand 
it).

I think you need more documentation in order to present it to a wider audience 
not necessarily understanding GTD or "contexts". I'd like to write a 
Troublehshooters.Com article on this, and then maybe some distribution 
documentation once I understand it.

Do I have it right that TKDO is a VimOutliner implementation of GTD?

Understanding that I know absolutely nothing about GTD, "contexts" or anything 
of the sort, could you please give me a few relevent terms and simple 
definitions for those terms, as a starting point?

Thanks
