Hello to everyone. If any of you can help me on this I would be very grateful.
I have spent a few hours looking up stuff and trying to see how this all works, and I was going to post some "help - n00b!" technical questions to help me get started, but in my google and list archive travels I read enough to question my assumptions that planner mode might do what I want. So that is what I decided to post about rather than technical questions. INTRO: The thing is, you see, I am new to emacs, I am a windows user, and I've only done the tiniest bit of what you might call scripting. My learning curve will be enormous. I have been using a modified gtd type of system on wiki's - first a personal windows wiki and then a server wiki (pmwiki) on wamp on windows (it can't be online since I often don't have access). The problem is that the first program was not flexible enough and pmwiki is not fast enough (reason possibly wamp, possibly the browser interface). Also not quite flexible enough. So doing it from within a super text editor thing like emacs appeals to me - I imagine it will be quite fast. Since emacs has a wiki mode I could just start with that, but I suspect planner mode will be much more useful. The other thing is that I really really want to move to linux from windows. I have ubuntu up and running but I have not made the transition yet since I am relying on old data back on windows. I want to get it into a linux-friendly format and make the jump. So I have the motivation - but a lot of skills to learn. And I need to know if planner mode is actually what I think it is. MAIN POINT: Am I right in these following assumptions? Emacs planner mode is based on emacs wiki mode, which works as a wiki. Working as a wiki means internal links and automatically generated pages Planner mode adds quick stuff for specifically making and scheduling tasks and doing other fancy stuff And will planner mode allow me to: associate todo's with "projects", ala GTD, with links in both directions give contexts, tags or labels to the todo's and/or the projects date the todo's as necessary That would be a start. Thank you, reader, for your patience.
