The ID of the imag entry is generated by +appending a unique ID (UUID) to "todo/". + +The unique ID identifies the todo entry. + +#### Stored data + +A todo entry stores the following information: + +* The (UU)ID of the todo entry +* A status of the todo entry. Valid values are: "deleted", "done", "pending" +* A "scheduled" date/datetime, can also yield an iterator +* An optional "hidden" value, which specifies a date in the future where this + todo entry should show up.

"-5days"), + to the "scheduled" date/datetime +* An optional "due" date/datetime, relative to the "scheduled" time +* A list of dependencies of the entry +* A "importance"-level, config file defined (strings in an array, index used for + ranking them) +* User defined value (a map of key-value string pairs) + +The description of the todo entry is stored as plain text. + +#### Data not stored + +Some data is explicitely _not_ stored by the library because there are other +libraries fullfilling that purpose.
