It definitely makes sense to use different calendars for different types of appointments (e.g. private and work) and to have Doit manage this automatically.
One challenge for the developers here is the fact that different users use different features for separating private from work etc. You and many others use Context. I and many others use Goal. Yet many others are asking for a separate feature often referred to as Area (which would correspond to "group of areas of responsibility" in GTD lingo).
Strictly speaking, Doit could offer calendar separation based on any combination of such parameters, but the inconsistent usage of these features makes the development more difficult than it would need to be. I personally believe the reason why the usage is so inconsistent is that both the Goals feature and the Context/Tags feature are so underdeveloped that they are often avoided for their "most natural" usage and are used for all kinds of other things.
Mapping between Google calendars and doti.im contexts
Hi there,
Doit.im provides two way synchronization with Google Calendars what is great.
However I think that it would be an awesome feature if it was possible to match each calendar with different doit.im context.
For example, I have two different calendars for work and home appointments.
It would be really convenient if event created in work calendar was transferred to doit.im with work context. Obviously it would have to work both ways. Scheduled tasks created in doit.im with the work context would be transferred to the "work" calendar.
Basically I'm asking for mapping between contexts in doti.im and google calendars.
Hopefully it makes sense.
Do you think that there is a chance for such new feature?
Cheers,
Andy

It is right that "the inconsistent usage of these features makes the development more difficult than it would need to be".
