Abstract

A method, apparatus, and program product are provided for integrating a calendar todo list with information from other applications. The method comprises the steps of: dynamically extracting data for open application processes, and creating task listings using the data for the open application processes. The apparatus comprises a processor adapted to dynamically extract data for open processes and create task listings using the data for the open application processes, and a memory having stored thereon a calendar application with a list of tasks. The program product comprises a machine readable media having encoded thereon, machine executable instructions for dynamically extracting data for open application processes, and creating task listings using the data for the open application processes.
