let Sandy work with my existing GTD websites
Ultimately, I'd love to be able to give Sandy authentication to perform tasks like these:
'add Dinner with John to gCal 01/01 7pm'
'add Clean the Fridge to RTM, due today'
Or even, with an email that identifies a meeting time, it would be great to be able to forward the email to her and say 'Sandy, add this to gCal'.
(I know I can add things to those sites by emailing them too, but being able to do it all from my inbox via one email address would be sweeeeet.)

Inappropriate?Hi again Cupcake 34651,
I like the idea. We've been looking at ways to more tightly integrate with other calendars, particularly gCal, though this is the first time I've seen the suggestion to target only specific details for forwarding to other calendars. It's clever. I'll pass the idea on to Sandy and the rest of the team and see what they think. We have some tricks up our sleeves for doing this sort of thing, so keep up the hopefulness!
Best,
David

Inappropriate?It might be possible to do this by implementing custom calendars in Sandy.
Some other calendar programs do this. They are able to create custom calendar feeds. You can choose that a particular calendar feed will only list items tagged with @home, or tagged with @gCal.
A person could set up the tag @gCal in Sandy, and then create a custom calendar feed that only lists items with this tag. The person could then set up Google Calendar so that it subscribes to this custom feed. So in the end, the user could say to Sandy something like, "Sandy, remember dinner with John on 01/01 @gCal" and the item would be added to Google Calendar. -
Inappropriate?It would be very nice to have to-do's auto-forwarded to rtm.

Inappropriate?It turns out there might be a way to do this. Something along the lines of a custom calendar feed, like what I was thinking earlier. You can search by a particular tag and then save the URL and give it to another person/application.
