Very interesting idea. > It might even be possible to integrate org-mode with something like > this html simple kanban board: > > http://www.simple-kanban.com/ I could envision a simple solution where you export your tasks via an dynamic block and insert that into the text area of the simple kanban board. But that is a one way solution and fails if people start dragging the tasks around. How does this information get back into the org file? Maybe something simpler that is not editable as a view of the tasks and their state, i.e. a simple static html kanban board. This could be done again with some hacking based on a dynamic block and exporting this as csv or you could hack up some elisp creating the html based on the mapping API[1]. > Also how might Emacs org-mode be able to render a kanban board view? > Would it be possible to use something like the agenda to do this and > shuffle the tasks about? Could you not just use the the global TODO list[2] and sort the tasks by TODO state?
