Feature Request: Improve Org Mode Integration

[mankoff]

See post on Org Mode list here about integrating Reminders with Org using rem:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-05/msg00556.html

This setup could be greatly improved if rem offered:

• An Org Mode compatible print format
• Reported the scheduled date of tasks
• Reported the priority of tasks
• Included (in a LOGBOOK?) the Reminders List and Item# so that when completing something on Org, it could be removed (via the rem command).

All that would help Reminders -> Org.

In order to support Org -> Reminders, when creating items:

• Allow the list to be specified.
• Allow a date to be set
• Allow a priority to be set
• Allow notes

I uploaded a patch with takes care of all your "Reminders -> Org" points.

The other direction, for "Org -> Reminders" support, is still TODO. I'll look into it when I have a little bit more time.

I added basic 2-way sync support in my latest commit.

You need to use org-export-json to create a JSON file from your org-mode TODO list (I added the function to /scripts/org-export-json.el. I got the idea to use json from org-toggl-py). Then, "rem parseorg reminders.org.json" can parse it and save back all changes to the cloud.

The parser is messy and hard-coded. It basically expects the same Input structure as the Output of "rem orgmode". The idea is to use one designated file for iOS reminders and then sync them forth and back in that file between Org-Mode and Reminders.app.

Following things sync correctly:

• Entry itself (name)
• Priority
• Status (TODO/DONE)
• Schedule date
• Completion date

In theory, notes should also work, but they can be a little bit messy and newlines are added or removed. I wouldn't try very complex notes.
