IMPORTANT UPDATE: The GTDAlt bundle now lives in the Subversion Repository of Bundles for TextMate. You can find details on how to access bundles this way here. The version on my website linked to below will NOT be updated any more.
I apologize for the inconvenience to those of you not using subversion, but I can assure you that following the above instructions is pretty painless, and the benefits to my sanity and general state of mind are too numerous to list here.
Update: You can find a more recent description of the workflow while working with the GTDAlt bundle here. It’s a work in progress.
This is a general help file for the GTDAlt bundle, one of the two bundles for implementing GTD in TextMate. You can also access this file from within the TextMate bundle. This file consists of three parts. The first part is an introduction to the bundle, describing how to use it. The second describes its internals, describing how to extend the bundle. The third is an example of creating a new command.
You can also find some pretty lame screencasts here, as well as a converter to convert your Kinkless GTD project to this format here.

This post has two purposes, first to describe the kinkless to gtdalt converter, and second to describe my gtd format as it currently stands and is used in the GTDAlt bundle.
Update: The converter has now been updated to deal with subprojects (thanks bbum for bringing this to my attention!). Also, there is a command now in the bundle. Just open the OPML file in TextMate and run the command.
Let’s start with the converter:

Mike Mellor has been doing a lot of great work with the GTD bundle, which I must say I have not really followed, basically because I’ve had no time and my own ideas about how a GTD bundle should be. Here in fact is my take on it. It is kind of inspired by Kinkless I guess.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The GTDAlt bundle now lives in the Subversion Repository of Bundles for TextMate. You can find details on how to access bundles this way here. The version on my website linked to in the previous paragraph will NOT be updated any more.
I apologize for the inconvenience to those of you not using subversion, but I can assure you that following the above instructions is pretty painless, and the benefits to my sanity and general state of mind are too numerous to list here.
Update: Added support for notes, and corrected errors because of empty lines (thanks Alan). Here’s a new and improved screencast, with sound. I still have problems with the sound though, it goes faster than the video. It’s quite irritating. There’s a new screenshot at the end.
Update2: Simplified the language grammar, and refined the syntax highlight a bit. Also, there is now a script to convert the Kinkless file to this format.
Update3: Fixed some bugs with the document parser.
Update4: Incorporated additions by Alan Schussman for archiving and moving lines around.
Update5: Totally revamped. A lot of documentation added here. Also added RDoc documentation for the ruby classes underlying the bundle. It can be found inside the bundle, under Support/bin/doc/index.html.
Update6: Added GTDFile.next_actions, GTDFile#next_actions and Project#next_action. Rearranged the menu. Added command for generating an HTML of all next actions.
Update7: Fixed grammar to work at end of line.
