API issues

Many people are "worried" that as Google hasn't yet published a Tasks API, then changes to Tasks could break geetasks. Google's reticence irritates me, but I can understand their position too. In any case, I did find that at http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=987, the very first comment reads in part:

"An api to manage the task list available in the gMail interface."

Now, I did try to look through the APIs, but I couldn't find anything like what that comment suggests.
I don't know if the geetask developers are aware of this so I thought I'd share. If they have any comments, I'd love to hear 'em.

Thanks for a really good piece of software.

Hi Fil.
I think you're misreading that line - in my view it says that "I wish … existed", rather than "… does already exist".

The API changes can break the app, but
1. The changes were small so far, chances are we will go another 6 months without a break.
2. I don't think it will take too long to fix it. Worse case you will have to use the Google's mobile web site while I'm sorting it out - an inconvenience but nothing really precluding you from building your workflow around Google Tasks.
