I've written a conversion program that translates HTML files in TiddlyWiki format to the XML data structure used by Tudumo. The current version supports titles, tags, and notes. Future versions may add support for dates and other options.

I wrote and tested it using data in MonkeyGTD 2.1 alpha r91, but in theory it should work with almost any version of TiddlyWiki.

tiddly2tudumo.exe -- compiled program
tiddly2tudumo.au3 -- source code (autoit3)

Enjoy. Comments/questions welcome.

I've been playing some with Tudumo recently, and I think it's got great potential as a to-do list manager. Very simple, elegant and intuitive to use. Well suited to GTD.

To get a jump-start on populating some Action Items into Tudumo, I wrote a quick-n-dirty script using AutoIt that takes a text file containing one-line task descriptions and pastes each line into a new Action item inside Tudumo. The result is a "poor-man's import" function that allows me to take lists from other software and transfer at least the basic info into Tudumo. Grab the script source code if you want, of if you don't use AutoIt you can just run the compiled version of the script.

6/12 update: Richard (the author) responded:

You should be able to either:
1) Drag and drop text into Tudumo
(I think dropping on any item will do it), or
2) Move up/down to a position and 
"paste" copied text.

Both should create a bunch of actions, one action per line.

Thanks Richard, that does work. I'll still hang onto this script because I may extend it later to include processing for additional item attributes like date, tags, and notes.
