Mylyn is limited to associating programming activity with a task context. For associating web and file browsing activity you need Tasktop, which builds on Mylyn. To learn more watch the short overview video: http://www.tasktop.com/videos/2008-winter/tasktop-eclipse.html

What is required to associate web-browsing with a context? Is this supported in Mylyn 2.3?

Thanks Steve. It should work with all Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4 based distributions that follow platform conventions. If it doesn’t work with your distribution please let us know: https://tasktop.com/support/overview/

Love the way this looks. Has anyone tried to use it with other integrated Eclipse plugin suites such as MyEclipse or JBoss Studio?

There's also some interesting discussion in the Tasktop release TSS thread.

There's an interesting debate about the Task-Focused Interface happening on the InfoQ interview posting.

Thanks Vineet! Google Docs we have some support for already and you can expect it to continue to improve in the upcoming releases. Regarding the others, it would be great if you could fill out the Integrations Survey. Del.icio.us there has been quite a lot of interest in and I hope that we can prioritize it before too long. Most Mylyn connectors should work within Tasktop, and there's a FogBugz connector listed on the Mylyn Extensions. If you have trouble using it with Tasktop please consider filing a a new bug. It also sounds like there is a Remember The Milk connector in the works.

> Great release! > Just one note - the audio on the movies is rather harsh - I almost stopped > watching the movies b/c the constant audio clipping hurt my ears. Jon: it turns out that Camtasia has a neat option to remove this kind of clipping, simply by telling it the gender of your voice and clicking a button. Earlier today we pushed new videos with improved audio. > I am very excited by what I see here, but also a bit disappointed with no Lotus Notes support. John: It's great to see the see interest from Lotus Notes users. I just saw another interesting blog entry from a Lotus user interested in Tasktop integration. There will be some technical challenges with this because Lotus is neither open source nor a distribution of the Eclipse platform that Tasktop depends on. But we are very interested to hear more from Notes users on how they would use Tasktop. Prompted by this, we have just set up a survey to help us prioritize integration, so please vote for Lotus.

Mik,
Congrats on the announcement… This looks really useful. I definitely need to give this a shot.

I heavily use Delicious, FogBugz, Google Docs, and Remember The Milk. Any notes on how well does TaskTop work with them?

I am very excited by what I see here, but also a bit disappointed with no Lotus Notes support. With Notes 8 being built on Eclipse, I figured this would have been the no brainer. Combine Tasktop, Notes 8, and Lotus Symphony and I could do everything I need to do without ever leaving the Eclipse world. I would encourage you to look into this. The whole world does not use Outlook.
