Now we’ve enabled an instant registration for Issues Done account. You just enter your OpenID, confirm your email address and you are in. That simple. Number of accounts to be registered is limited to let us balance it with our resources and plans.
Issues Done is a GTDish approach to tracking issues, implemented in Ruby on Rails. It is at its early stage these days. We’re going to improve it significantly in the coming weeks, introducing new sharing system, Issue Pal, due and reminder dates and milestones.
You can get your OpenID account at MyOpenID.COM or any other OpenID provider.
Interested? Sign up !

We’re working hard these day to launch an early version of Issues Done early Fall 2007. It is not yet feature-complete, though we already use it internally and leaked a few accounts to friends of us. It is by no means final look, but you can have an idea of what ID will look like:
What is Issues Done? Issues Done is a new tool to eliminate busy people’s procrastination stress — it is an opinionated application that implements GTD methodology and pushes you towards following it.
What do we have already:
- GTD queues
- Tagged issues
- Issue sharing
- Keyboard navigation
- RSS aggregation (early version)
- Changes monitoring (early version)
What do we plan to implement soon:
- Late issues
- IM/e-mail notifications/nagging and communication interface (SMS will come later)
- Work groups
- Issues autosharing
- Milestones
- Issue filtering
If you’re interested to participate in early testing rounds, drop us a line to team at issuesdone dot com.

I’ve decided that I definitely need to celebrate Caches.rb first birthday soon. It was first announced on Sep 16, 2006. So I’m going to release next version on Sep 16, 2007. It is much better these days, but all that goodies are still in trunk. Recently I was even paid by a good folks that use Caches.rb in production to improve it even more. Thank you!
Currently caches.rb is available at:
- Subversion: http://svn.verbdev.com/rb/caches.rb/trunk/
- Browser: http://rb.dev.verbdev.com/browser/caches.rb
So, what we we have now? Class methods support, memcached storage (and, basically, pluggable storages), working Rails support [we had some issues with development environment].
What I’m going to do when have few minutes available? I’d like to pay more attention to tests (rewrite them?), create an up-to-date documentation. Anybody willing to help? I don’t have really much time these days since I’m busy working on an Issues Done startup and consulting for a living.
Also I’m open to read all bug reports, ideas, suggestions, patches you have in mind that you think should go into 1.0.
