I can describe my approach to things like this: Being no lisper, I usually try to find a working example that basically does what I want. Then I try-and-error tweak it, till it works. For creating new records, I found these: Append a birthday field: http://sachachua.com/wp/2008/07/20/emacs-bbdb-modifying-the-record-creation-process/ German modifications to the cration process: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BbdbCreateRecord And it works so far. But I got no clue, how the bbdb really works :(. But I think Birthdays should be in there, and not in a separate org file. Searching through http://orgmode.org/org.html, the monolithic org documentation for org-bbdb, I only find this line: Thomas Baumann wrote org-bbdb.el and org-mhe.el. And the manual (for very good reasons: Excellent!) is the first place I have a look at. Having a look at the faq, I find a page for diary integration, but org-bbdb is not mentioned there, either (afaik). Google was no help, so there seems to me there is only the documentation in org-bbdb.el, which is, I am sure, enough for everyone who knows lisp and the bbdb... Still, a faq-page, maybe dedicated to "Interaction with other modes", might help: This could include remember, diary and bbdb integration. Now, there is only Appointments/Diary. And I think mentioning it in the manual somewhere (maybe with a link to the faq page) would be great. I found out about org-bbdb.el only by reading this list closely. Nur meine 0.02 cent ;) And again, thanks for org-mode ;)! _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
