[O] Putting a todo item to the end of this level
Hello, how can I move a specific TODO item to the end of the level it currently sits? Example a) before the command was executed * TODO Level 1 ** TODO something to do a ** DONE something to do b ** TODO something to do c ** TODO something to do d * TODO Level 1 again b) after the command was executed (TODO is moved to the end of the TODO Level 1 items) * TODO Level 1 ** TODO something to do a ** TODO something to do c ** TODO something to do d ** DONE something to do b * TODO Level 1 again Thanks a lot in advance, Uwe
Re: [O] org-mode for knowledge management
[…] uniformity, extruder/die temperature, cooling time, holding pressure, etc. I think this is awesome general knowledge. But I'm documenting our learning in an experimental report for export and upload to my company's internal technical report repo. I find it very different to write notes for yourself and to write for an audience. In a report you need to follow a structure, you need to choose a particular natural language, you need to explain things that might be obvious for you, you cannot change topic, … Whereas in notes, you're free. Therefore I think it makes sense to have two different places for both. What I'm often torn about is re-writing the learning/understanding/summary in a more general way since how it usually arises is laden with specific details for *this* product/project, whereas the information I want to retain is about how I see the new understanding more generally. … However, I don't consider that rewriting (specific→general) you mention as a necessary task or a burden (I don't do it), because in your notes (generic knowledge) you can simply refer to the specific one (e.g.: „see what I did in this case ([[link_to_the_report]])“.). A header with 1 or 2 or N links to specific reports is a good start before continue focusing on other generic-knowledge topics. So you decide where you will work the most (either in the specific reports or in the generic knowledge) and then the other can refer to it. I do it like that. E.g. I'm not writing in my generic notes a „code style guide“ because I did it already in project X, so I add knowledge in projectX.org and just link to it. If some particular knowledge grows too big for that projectX_code_style, I develop it in my generic notes (another file, project-unrelated). Of course copy+paste is a nightmare to maintain (see: DRY). I am still forced to do it with some org tables which do complex calculations. I think org offers dynamic tables to apply the same process to different data sources, but it gets complex. I think there's no such thing as „templates“ where you change the base one and all uses of it (in all files) are automatically updated. About links: in org-mode they all look the same, but semantically there are many types, like: - *is-a*: „this is a concrete implementation of [[that generic knowledge]]“ - *related*: „related to this is: [[that]]“ - *same-as*: „this and [[that]] are exactly the same topic, so write only under that header, not here“ ← this is poor man's transclusion, or more like „symbolic links“ in ext4. With it, a header seems to be present in many places at the same time; in reality the content is only in one place and the rest are links. The good thing is, it doesn't really matter /where/ exactly is that tree, because you'll find it anyway by following maximum 1 link. X can link to Y, or Y can link the X; what's important is that reading both X or Y you'll find exactly the same thing (not copy+pasted contents). So, it's all about finding a manual algorithm to organize things This is generally what I've tried to do, though I find this is cumbersome as I often use subtrees for more report-style/narrative analyses of data and experiments. Thus I don't find it as simple as your example to Brady with the PDF/HTML info, which is more basic. As I write this, I'm thinking I could probably still do this... For an example, let's say I'm making plastic widgets and we've been running a series of injection mold trials with a manufacturer. Some really novel understanding comes about with respect to part uniformity, extruder/die temperature, cooling time, holding pressure, etc. I think this is awesome general knowledge. But I'm documenting our learning in an experimental report for export and upload to my company's internal technical report repo. My initial thought was that links this way would get in the way... but I suppose now I could be writing along and create a link to the nearest headline in the report, then go to some other tree and insert a link to that headline with some note about the gist of the understanding or keywords for the future me trying to re-find that tidbit. Note that: - I don't suggest you abuse links and link every header. You can link to interesting topics. Like in Wikipedia: you /could/ link every word, but it makes sense to link only interesting information (only: in WP they link too much because they don't know what exactly will be interesting to the reader; but in your notes, you know already which links will you need in the future). - In my example, the link meant „this is the same as that“, and I think this is always a basic concept, even in complex scenarios. In your case, your link may mean something different (like: „this heading is a specific wording of that knowledge“) - That header with empty contents that says „for this, don't look here but look there: [[there]]“

t would put it at the top, :captionpos b at the bottom and
:captionpos nil (or not specified) would use the default from the
configuration variable.
Reasonable?
I don't think we need to go that far at the moment. Implementing
`org-latex-caption-above' is a reasonable start.
I add it to my ToDo list.
There’s at least some notion in the Latex community that captions atop
tables but below figures is sensible style:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3243/why-should-a-table-caption-be-placed-above-the-table.
In that light, does it make sense to instead implement this setting as an alist
with separate settings for tables, images, src blocks, etc.? (Of
course, there could be separate variables
org-latex-{table,figure,src-block}-caption-above, but a single alist
seems simpler)

New variable.
(org-passwords-default-random-words-number): New variable.
(org-passwords-copy-username, org-passwords-copy-password): Use
`org-entry-get' to obtain the property value.
(org-passwords-open-url): New function.
(org-passwords): Can be called with universal argument.
(org-passwords-generate-password): Use default size given by
`org-passwords-default-password-size'.
(org-passwords-random-words): Use default number given by
`org-passwords-default-random-words-number'.
(org-passwords-concat-this-with-string): Fix bug.
The patch adds several functionality:
Open the URL property directly from the mode. URLs can be inherit.
Universal argument in org-passwords allows for longer browsing. Two
arguments is used for editing.
There is a default password size and random-words number for faster
password generating.
Fix bug in C-u M-x org-passwords-generate-password.

Re: [O] Other editors supporting Org-Mode
Sorry for the late response from me. I read all your ideas on how to solve that. For now I made them to use the org-mode syntax. We'll see if that works out tho. To your suggestions: @Jorge: I also had the idea of an emacs configuration which restricts to org mode only. The good thing is that this editor would not need any update whenever org mode changes, due to the fact that the real org mode is used. A quite good argument. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to create such a configuration right now. So I will postpone this solution. @Albert: Yes, using markdown mode could also be a solution. However, then we always got the converting back and forth which might cause trouble. So it is not as satisfying as I wish it was, but still it could work out. @Paul: Trello seems quite interesting. However, I want to create documents, which then are converted to latex and pdf. Due to the fact that Trello is for task management, this doesn't really work out. @Stefan: This Sublime extension might be the solution. Thanks for that input. @All others: Thanks for your inputs. So I will try to let them use sublime with the orgmode plugin, and see if it that works out. One more thing: This semester I got a class at university which is called Advanced C/C++ Programming. In that class we will develop some project (which we can pick on our own). So I will make the suggesting of creating an editor which is capable of displaying org mode files (with the main focus on text files and not task managment), similar to org mode and possibly even tex/pdf conversion. The language for the program will of course be C++ and obviously this is not negotiable. Thanks for your input guys.

Isn't this what tags are good for, though? Sort of providing a secondary structure to your information, orthogonal to Org's subtree structure? Agreed, and have tried that, though that has issues as well, unless I'm missing something (see below). When the current project is done, I'd like to archive everything specifically related to it while keeping around the general knowledge I've accumulated for use with future efforts. You could organize a project by subtree, but put generally-useful research elsewhere, and tag that research by theme. Then give the project subtree its own tag, but also add tags to the relevant research themes. Open an Agenda with a projecttag|themetag tag search to see both general research and project-specific stuff. When the time comes, the project subtree gets archived, but the thematic stuff stays. This is the bit I'm not sure about... * project_a ** experiment about blah :proj_name:theme: [2014-10-11] Did x, y, and z today. Will analyze results tomorrow. [2014-10-12] Wow. Interesting finding. This will help a lot and may be relevant to future projects! So... when I archive project_a, don't I lose the thematic information from my experiment? This is sort of the conundrum I often find myself in. I work in product development, and many of the difficulties, experimental findings, or even contacts/information for a given project seem like they'd be really helpful to recall/go back to for future projects. The learning is uncovered only because I'm working on launching *this* product... but isn't inherently relevant *only* to this project. I guess my assumption is that the interesting finding bit would be its own heading, and would *not* live in the project_a subtree at all, but rather in a different subtree that was dedicated to whatever the theme is. So the heading for the experiment would just be about the experiment itself, and you'd make a new note about the generally-useful finding elsewhere. Perhaps both links and tags are what you're after then: you could leave a link to the general finding inside experiment about blah (to remind yourself you took that note), but also use the tags to open Agendas on both project and theme, so you can see all the relevant information in one place. Dunno! I've migrated from one file per project like I used to do to the big 'ol one-file method (except for a contacts.org file and miscellany). Thus, I tend to like to archive, but for whatever reason have an aversion to agenda-ing on archived stuff. I find I only look in archives when someone asks something really specific about a past project and I think I have notes on it. Anyway, that was my thought. I saw Daniel replied as well; you both understand my struggle -- you tackle it with tags and he's suggesting lots of links (more on that in a sec). Thanks! John Anyway, I'm sure you've considered all this, just curious what your thoughts on tags are... Or is this what you mean by using links? Are you just saying that individuals should not be copying the same text around in multiple places? Thanks, John [snip]
