Global Task Exchange Protocol

I'm not getting what this is for. It seems to be something about automation around arbitrary people on the Internet giving you work to do. It seems like this is a flaw to get rid of? Email and bug trackers make it all too easy.

Partially I agree with you. This is to get rid of the hacks people do to work across organization wall.

Let me try to explain: A task is not just a text, it has context and history, and meta data. Unfortunately people use email for this which creates 100s of messages in a thread. Instead, if you keep single entity and keep updating it like you would do in any task management system, it will create better meta data and less headache to manage.

Okay, but switching to a better issue tracker (for your needs) seems considerably more practical than solving data interchange between issue trackers.
