DailyTasks project is a program for reminding you of daily tasks.
I, basically, created DailyTasks to fulfill a need of my own. I am much too disorganized to use "standard" task managemenet programs: every time I tried, I seemed to spend more time setting up and updating tasks than I actually spent doing the tasks themselves... On the other hand, a simple way of reminding me of them would be useful.
Also, most tasks seem to be of the repeating kind. That is, its something you have to do every day. What I needed, then, was a way to remind me -- or simply to show me -- that, today, I still had this, that and that to do.
I looked around for some already existing software to do exactly this... and found only one: frequent-task-reminder. Its based on the concept of "work units"; that is, after you set up a task, it increases by one remaining work unit each day. It was mostly what I wanted, but, after trying it out, I quickly found that there were a couple of features I wanted it to have, and it didnt. The main one was this: there should be an option to stop increasing the work units above 1. Some tasks simply dont accumulate. Oh, and I wanted a web interface, too.
The web interface, I even ended up writing myself. :) But frequent-task-reminder is written in Python, a language I have about zero experience with. While this would be a good excuse to learn it, :), I decided, instead, to start from scratch, and write DailyTasks, in PHP.
Main features:
- Web interface included as an alternative to command line mode
- Tasks file is a simple, easy to edit text file, instead of XML
- 3 task modes: normal (increases one work unit per day), max 1 (doesnt increase beyond 1 remaining work unit), and standby (doesnt increase at all)
- Ability to manually set the remaining work units for a task
- Doesnt keep track of dates; requires a special invocation (usually by cron) to increase work units
- Written in PHP instead of Python.
Installation
Command line
First, you need PHP. I only tested DailyTasks on PHP 5.x, but the 4.x versions should work as well.
If you compiled PHP by hand, you probably have everything you need already. If youre using a precompiled package, note that many distributions separate PHP in two packages: the "web" version and the "command line" version. You need the latter (and any dependencies it may have). On Ubuntu, for instance, its called php5-cli.
After you have PHP, simply put the dailytasks file somewhere in your path. Edit it and, if needed, change the first line to point to where you have php installed (it may be in /usr/bin/php, /usr/local/bin/php, or, in rare cases, something else).
Web interface
Requirements: a web server (probably Apache) with PHP support.
You need to install the command line version first, of course (see above). Warning: if youre using a chrooted Apache, you need to put dailytasks somewhere inside the chroot.
Finally, just put all the DailyTasks *.php and *.css files on an accessible web directory. Add some kind of authentication, possibly using a .htaccess file, if needed.
Usage
Command line
Simply run dailytasks without any parameters, and youll get this help:
Available options:
-x : increase each tasks work units by one. Typically used by cron.
-a task : add a new task called task. Use quotes if the name has more
than one word.
-l : list all tasks
-c : list all tasks with 1 or more pending work units.
-w tasknumber : work -- reduce tasks pending units by 1.
-r tasknumber : set remaining work units for that task to zero.
-m tasknumber mode: set the tasks type to the listed mode.
available modes are:
0: stand-by -- work units dont increase automatically.
1: max 1 -- work units increase up to 1 (i.e. no accumulation).
2: normal -- work units increase by 1 each day, with no limit.
-s tasknumber units: set remaining work units to the supplied value.
-d tasknumber: delete the task completely. Task numbers change after this operation.
You should probably add:
0 0 * * * path/to/dailytasks -x
to your crontab.
Web interface
The web interface is (hopefully) self-explanatory, as long as you are aware of the command line options (see above). I may attempt to make any future versions more user friendly.

Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to manage personal tasks and todo lists. Task Coach grew out of my frustration that well-known task managers, such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide facilities for composite tasks.
Often, tasks and other things todo consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks.
Currently, Task Coach is at version 0.42. I use it on a daily basis, but there are still a lot of features missing. If theres anything youd like to see included, please let me know.
Main features:
- Creating, editing, and deleting tasks and subtasks.
- Tasks have a subject, description, priority, start date, due date and a completion date.
- Tasks can be viewed as a list or as a tree.
- Tasks can be sorted by all task attributes, e.g. subject, budget, budget left, due date, etc.
- Several filters to e.g. hide completed tasks or view only tasks that are due today.
- Task status depends on its subtask and vice versa. E.g. if you mark the last uncompleted subtask as completed, the parent task is automatically marked as completed too.
- Tasks can be assigned to user-defined categories.
- Settings are persistent and saved automatically. The last opened file is loaded automatically when starting Task Coach.
- Track time spent on tasks. Tasks can have a budget. Time spent can be viewed by individual effort period, by day, by week, and by month.
- The Task Coach file format (.tsk) is XML.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes sorting of tasks by priority and makes sure that Task Coach does not block OS shutdown.

Taskjitsu tracks tasks from inception to completion, and allows users to report the amount of time spent on each project and task. Taskjitsu satisfies the needs of software development companies, consulting firms, and other organizations that need both flexible time and task tracking. It can generate billing summaries and payroll reports usable with any accounting system.

Taskmanager project and task management software written in modern XHTML/Javascript/PHP/MySQL follows a wiki-like scheme of editing content for simple organizing of people.

Ant SVK Task is a software that can create fully functional support for the SVK SCM tool within Ant build files.
If you like to use SVK in relation with Ant you can use the library you have available which means you have to add the antsvk-Revision.jar to your CLASSPATH.
After that you have to define the different Task which can be used in Ant files later.
To define the svk checkout command you have to put the following Task definition into your Ant build file:
< taskdef name="svkCheckout" classname="com.soebes.antsvk.cli.command.CheckoutCommand" classpath="..."/ >
Enhancements:
- The complete test suite is now working with local repositories and mirrors which will be used by the test suite instead of real repositories.
- Trac is now used as the project management tool. Minor bugfixes were done.
