Overall quickadd syntax for multiple tasks, subtasks, tags, etc.

[Matthew Rasmus]

There are a few bug reports floating around dealing with the idea of a "quickadd syntax"--be it for adding multiple tasks, subtasks, tags, or setting due dates. I think that keeping all these ideas separate is detrimental to the overall issue, and as such, I thought I'd open a bug report dedicated to the whole thing.

Some questions I think we need to answer: Do we really need this sort of feature? What sort of functionality would we want from this feature? How would we implement this without potentially interfering with different workflows?

I also think that these questions should be answered before actually coming up with a syntax.

I tagged some other issues: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bugs?field.tag=quick-add

But there is already a blueprint (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gtg/+spec/simple-quick-add-syntax) and a wiki page (http://live.gnome.org/gtg/blueprints/QuickAddSyntax) for this...do we really need this issue?

I agree with Paul.
