Hi there,

it is safe to say that my daily work as a scientist would be no longer possible
without planner, so first of all thanks to all who write or maintain planner or
the underlying muse code.

I'm still using the older emacs-wiki based planner at work. In order not to
break things, I tried to install the newer muse-based stuff on a different box
for testing. I came across two issues:

1) Since it is a while that I installed planner in the first place, I started
over essentially like a newbie, searching for planner mode in Google. I first
ended up at

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerModeFromScratch

which describes the installation - but for the old version. Sure, there is a
link to

http://www.plannerlove.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DownloadingPlanner

which has the instructions for the muse-based stuff. Nevertheless, after
following the link to the installation I ended up with a planner that didn't
work. Next I perused the info manual and received a third set of instructions
which finally worked.

I don't mean to complain, but a real newbie might have given up frustrated
before ever getting to that point. It is not a good idea to have three sets of
instructions at three different places which are utterly out of sync.

2) Now the more serious problem. My setup at work strictly relies on the
backlink feature (see http://www.mhoenicka.de/software/hacks.html to see what I
use them for). I tested the backlink feature with planner-3.41 and muse-latest
as of yesterday and it didn't work for me. I started in an empty project
directory. I created one top level page (the plan page template was used
automatically here as I'd expect) and added a link to it. Following the link
would create the new page including a backlink, but otherwise the page was
empty - looks like template is not used if backlinks are created. Even worse,
when I added a link to that page and followed it, Emacs bailed out with an
error message and didn't create the new page.

My question: Is it a known fact that the backlinks are broken, or should I
invest more time for a complete error report?

regards,
Markus
