Task vs. Todo vs. Action

Open C-Otto opened this issue 11 years ago • 7 comments

Inside the tracks project the terms task and todo seem to be used interchangeably. There is "Add action", "Repeating Todos", and the website mentions "Starred tasks". I'd like to work around this confusion.

There is also mixed usage of "recurring" vs "repeating".

That was my impression, too - but do you have a concrete example for that?

Sure -- the navigation menu is "Organize > Repeating todos" but the resulting page title is "Recurring todos".

The URL fragment is "recurring_todos", so I'd like to rename "repeating" to "recurring" and both "task" and "action" to "todo". Is that something you're OK with?

Yep -- recurring should be the standard.

Pull request #1758 is the first part of this, dealing with "recurring" vs. "repeating".

I've commented on recurring vs. repeating. I'd prefer action over todo / task because it is closer to the terminology of David Allen.
