Comment 1 for bug 931380

I like this feature and see usage for "outside" world like GNOME-Shell GTG extension. It has a nice semantic but there might be implementation problems. Notification area plugin now updates every time you change/modify task. Using such DBus interface, it would be forced to update periodically (e.g. every X seconds) I like current model for notification area more.

How would we implement it? I propose to having a sorted list of all workview tasks sorted by duedate. Liblarch callbacks would modify this list. DBus call would just return first X items from this list. It seems to me as a nice and effective approach. (tagging this bug as LOVE)

I am not sure about the last one. Could you elaborte it more? Usecases?
