Software to share To-Do lists?

I was going to recommend TuDuMo. It was originally supposed to be a pc version of TaskPaper, a plain text to-do app for the mac. It had many advantages: Plain text files. Very simple, and keyboard shortcuts. Not free, but very reasonable for the power.
But, now it uses XML files. And they're still decipherable, but a long way from the old format. In the old format, each todo was a line in the file. Tags were @tags at the end of the line. When a task was done, it was flagged with a - before the line. The app interpreted all of this into its interface, but it was beautiful. But now it's an example of what happens when someone decides to do too much with their original idea.
It's still a cool app, but I weep for what it was before.
Maybe I can make one that does what it used to do...

Ah! You are right. That's exactly what I remember. What a shame. I was all set to use it. Maybe someone here would be interested in reviving the idea with a coding snack?

FYI - if it's based on TaskPaper, you can find that over in the App Store.
Don't you use an iPad?

I'll see if I can get to it- maybe release it for the fundraiser... ! :)
Just as a start, the format I have in mind is something pretty simple. Each line is one item of the format
-Task @Context +Project
where "Task" is the description of the task, "@Context" are the contexts of the task, "+Project" is the project the task should be assigned to, and "-" denotes that the task is completed. There can be more than one "@Context", but only one "+Project" per line, with the "-" having to be at the beginning of the line, and the "@Context" and "+Project" having to be at the end. The only problem that I can see from the format is the inability to have the @/+ sign next to a word, but I don't think that should be too limiting...
Thoughts?

One caveat to that is that the only desktop app is for Mac...

That's a good idea! Thanks, I didn't think of that. it doesn't help me for work, but I will definitely see if it fits in my personal work.
