An interface to read the todo list from todo managers that are or have CLI would be awesome!

Say, it could be as simple as defining a todo_list_command setting in pal.conf, and then people can call their favourite todo manager, possibly filter the output for the date being displayed with grep, etc.

This one for example would play very nicely with that approach:
http://todotxt.com/

The internal TODO feature of pal is interesting as a minimal todo manager, but it lacks task organization and management features that people start taking for granted these days (tags, contexts, projects, task history...). I suppose In part this is beyond the intended scope of pal anyway.

On the other hand, http://todotxt.com/ lacks a calendar feature, so this could add a lot for both user groups.
