A very useful combination of calendar and task tracking system

BORG Calendar and Task Tracker is a software that permits you remember task and appointments.

BORG is a combination calendar and task tracking system. The calendar supports simple todo's. The Task Tracker goes way beyond todo's.

BORG actually stands for Berger-Organizer. Unfortunately, the name BORG seems to be a well known choice for software products, probably due to the number of Star Trek fans that write code. The fact that BORG calendar as well seems to refer to the Microsoft Outlook calendar makes things even more confusing.

BORG is basically meant to be a small self-contained Java application that you can run locally. Many users run it from a thumb drive.

• XML import/export
• File-based DB or MySQL DB
