When does a task in a project become a Calendar item?
(closed account) says:
I have a list that is a project, prepare monthly invoices.
One of the tasks on that list is email telephone lesson reviews.
That task is set to repeate each week on Saturday, that is when I do my record keeping.
It makes sense for me to have it as part of the project, prepare monthly invoices, BUT of course it would also make sense to just put it on my GCal with a reminder.
I love RTM but I am finding myself not sure whether some things are better on my calendar.
How do you decide?
Another thing is I clear out the mail from my mail server once per month, I put it on my monthly tasks project list in RTM but could easily justify it being on my calendar instead.
Iùt snot a big deal but one way would probably be more efficient.

You can put it on your GCal using the iCal feeds for Lists. If its set up as an event (ie: a due date...if there is no time it shows up as an all-day item) if will show in GCal just fine. I actually just started moving over some items that I previously had as all-day events in GCal itself to tasks with due dates in RTM and show them in GCal with the iCal feeds.
Look at the FAQ for the iCalendar service.

I am having serious issues with GCal and external feeds (at least from RTM...not sure about others). Nothing is updating. Looks to be the same problem mentioned here:

is not good. it takes hours for refreshes to happen with no way to manually refresh.
