# Convert Remember the Milk tasks to Evernote notes, using approximately
# the the Evernote setup recommended in "The Secret Weapon":
#
#   http://www.thesecretweapon.org/the-secret-weapon-manifesto/setting-up-the-secret-weapon
#
# requires Python >= 2.7 (for ElementTree.iter())
#
# Also requires Geeknote: http://www.geeknote.me/
# Install/untar Geeknote and set _GEEKNOTE below to point to the executable
#
# Find your RTM Atom feed here:
#   https://www.rememberthemilk.com/atom/<username>
#
# Assumes you organize your RTM todos by tags, not by lists (should be
# easily modifiable to do the latter). Maps things to Evernote as
# follows:
#
#     * <first tag> :<first tag>:
#     ** TODO [<priority] Item 1
#     ** TODO Item 2 :<othertags>:
#     ** TODO Item 3
#     <note title>
#     <note content>
