I guess it should be in the spirit of configurable organizers like the
TiddlyWiki based GTD systems (see http://www.tiddlywiki.com/):

- MPTW (MonkeyPirateTiddlyWiki) :: http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/
- mGSD :: http://mgsd.tiddlyspot.com/demo3.html and
  http://thinkcreatesolve.biz/mGSDEnhancements.html
- D-cubed
- tbGTD :: http://tbgtd.tiddlyspot.com/

That is the killer brother application for Org, for sure.
