Hey Guys,
This is Jordan Sherer, the author of codename merlin (the windows taskpaper alternative).
We ARE currently in an invite only private beta, however, soon we’ll be releasing a public beta for everybody to try out. If you’d like to be informed first thing, go ahead and shoot me an email or signup for the private beta at http://widefido.com/
Take care!
Best,
Jordan
If this is for real then I cannot wait. I have written a taskpaper-esque access database which is quite cumbersome (as I am not a database writer). So I am continually scouring the net looking for something more slick for a Windows OS. I think I may have found it (judging by the screenshot)!
codename merlin is just the ticket. Between it and Tasko or a USB key, I can have my taskpaper wherever I want it.
Hey Guys,
Codename Merlin is definitely “for real”. It is currently in version 0.7 with a new release coming soon. We are gearing up and finalizing all of the features for our version 1.0 launch.
If you would like to try it out, email me at: jordan [at] widefido.com
Also, for those of you out there looking for another screen shot, check this out:

I cannot wait to see this. I love Taskpaper, but it’s lack of a windows client is causing me frustration. Any chance of a beta invite, Jordan? or even a release date? :)
Hi Adam,
Email me jordan [at] widefido.com and I’ll send you a beta invite.
We are currently at version 0.9. I’m doing the last tweaks to the code before pushing a 1.0 version. It should be some time in the next week or two. Stay tuned ;)
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Best,
Jordan
sounds great, signed up … tap tap tap … uh, like, waiting! ;)
Hey Zap,
The beta is coming to an end, with a public 1.0 release coming very shortly. I apologize for not getting you into the beta. But, if you’d like to check out the release candidate, email me and I’ll be happy to send you a copy.
Again, I apologize for the long wait in the beta test.
Best,
Jordan
