+### HEADS UP! 
+### This fork is to intended to preserve the taskwarrior 2.6.2 codebase, and to allow for further fixes and improvements!!
+It's great to see that taskwarrior is still an active project and the active developers, working on version 3.x, have a vision that fuses taskchampion and an SQL database. It's cool, and in rust, and everything.. but they are decidedly uninterested in further work on the 2.x (data as text files) codebase.
+
+It was the fact that task used a text-file to store data, that first hooked me to the project. I'm almost certainly first taskwarrior user, and technically the original taskwarrior Designer! I worked with the orginal programmer, Paul Beckingham, as he brilliantly implemented so many of my crazy ideas, like colors, urgency, reports, UDAs, attribute modifiers and SO much more! 
+
+Because I'm an old fart, set im my ways like that, and kind of squeamish about keeping my task data as a SQL database, this repo is somewhare I can try to apply fixes and cherry-pick from changes made after official 2.6.2 releases, and to curate some of the things that I think belong with it. That said, I'm a terrible programmer, a dubious developer, and would welcome input, ideas and contributions.
