As someone who uses Todoist for personal tasks, Asana at work, and Basecamp for those clients who haven't migrate to Asana yet ... yes.

From a pragmatic perspective, I'm not sure this can gain traction. The mail exchange protocol was built in a very different environment, and you'd have to get some serious weight behind this to gain much traction.

Totally agree. In my view, if nobody is thinking about it then nobody is implementing it.

The idea is great. Perhaps, however, it is too ambitious.

Maybe this could start as a thinner protocol, with adaptors to turn Todoist, Asana, Trello and Basecamp into clients.

Of course. I am starting a basic implementation with asana hook.

I would suggest this is the perfect example of a project which should extend SCIM [1], a recently release RFS for this functionality. SCIM is Simple Cross-domain Identity Management and allows sharing of user and group information via RESTful JSON APIs. It's easily sufficient for vCard information and is also easily extensible. I think calendar and to-do information is the next step.

Amazing, I think if we keep identity management as a part of configuration then it will be easier for development, till one protocol becomes standard. I will try to add this as a default identity management. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, sounds trivial.

Had the same idea couple of times, whet I needed to distribute tasks between couple of servers. Now I can imagine it, as some sort of TCP service (like EMAIL) powered by DNS records and TCP server/client. Maybe SMTP can be also used. This desires and requires more time and energy, maybe a team of people, maybe open standard and SW implementation of TCP services. This could be used, not only for humas, but also for automation.
