I'm orgmode newbie. Before I reinvent a wheel, going to ask if this has already been done: 'orgmode as a service'.
Or perhaps it doesn't need to be done and I'm tilting at yet another windmill. Comments welcome. Assume a workgroup of people - they use emacs / orgmode. Mostly Linux and OS X, but there might be a weirdo or two still using Solaris. They get TODOs from people who do -not- use emacs: managers, project managers, Windows users, end users ... like that. The input arrives (mostly) via email. 'Attend Meeting Foo at 08:00 p.m.' 'Fix Bug umptyfratz this week'. orgmode user manually inputs this data into emacs. I had a few free minutes and thought 'there must be a better way': 20 minutes a day to organize tasks * Y people on a team = a lot of wasted hours. Is there a programatic method already coded up to take bits delivered to a server, bang out the appropriate .org file and deliver it to the orgmode user? Assume data > [email protected] orgmodeservice would be a daemon (perl, lisp, whatever) that mangles the data. # data user: [email protected] what: Task - record new hit single when: June 01, 2012 becomes adele.org > adele's desktop #adele.org * TODO Record new hit single <2012-06-01 Fri> Am I Don Quixote slaying phantom dragons?
