I can imagine a git-based system that creates a git repository with some 
meta-files (something like .gitpeers) that keep track of other users. 
Whenever you connect to a network, it checks for updates and tries to 
apply them; if there are conflicts, it notifies you and backs off. You 
could implement it as a pretty tiny daemon, probably. Any language 
should be able to do it.

- like to be free

This is a really funny conversation to be having on LP-discuss, guys. 
"Google Docs/Atlassian/Lotus Notes might work, lol" <-- not 
super-helpful to the Free Software people on this list who might be 
interested in the topic.

I've toyed with the idea of using a full-on suite of software-project 
management for personal task management. Phabricator is currently a good 
choice for me, but I haven't gotten around to putting it online yet. 
I'll see if I can test it this week and get back to everyone.

Good news: It's free.
