To be honest, what you are suggesting sounds interesting, but I don't know remember well enough to know if it does what it sounds like.
It would be nice to have a 'hot-key' interface to generate a project tree. I've looked a little at form and template packages for emacs to see if any look like they'd let me easily create a template to generate a basic "Project Tree" for my org files. For now, I have a template in each org file that I cut and paste and then fill in when I need to 'create' a new project. At some point I'd like to come up with a command that would prompt me for the heading, an initial status/description, a category and other option info (deadline, priority, todo-state) and use that to insert a project tree into the correct org file (I have one per category) with the supplied heading, the description under the status subheading I maintain with the current data (inactive) before it, and with the other info where I want it. I admit this is very specific to how I do things and I haven't read GTD so it probably isn't how others would want it. It sounds like what you are suggesting might be able to so some of that, though I think what I'm suggesting might be over the top or an abuse of remember. I guess I'm looking at various trees as data types in a duck-typing sense. (If it's in the right place and has the right shape, it's a duck.) It would be nice to easily define constructors for those types. It's a style thing for me, but I'd also like to be able to describe my ducks in my org files rather than my .emacs files since that's where I line up my ducks. I don't know how to do it yet, I'm not sure how to generalize it and given my skill with copy and yank I can't say it essential. Just a nice idea. Edd On 1/15/07, Leo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

This is actually the feature make me make up my mind to migrate from planner to org. But the feature I propose is not important anymore. Since the *remember* buffer is in org-mode, we can use the normal org key bindings to set timestamps. However I still feel there is room for improvement to make remember the input engine for GTD etc. ;) -- Leo <sdl.web AT gmail.com> (GPG Key: 9283AA3F) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
