As suggested, start with ~/.emacs . I suggest to read the Emacs manual: C-h r . I know it is very long and sometimes the words are not what is usually. But if some word is not clear, search the glossary. Also, experiment more before asking. You can develop more knowledge by your own experimenting than by being spoonfed. Document what happens and re-read your writtings. Emacs is a program which is not plug-and-play. You must build your own configuration to your taste, or else it will be like wearing someone else's clothing (as I said befor). So, it might be harder to learn Emacs than other editors. It will be something that requires reading a lot. But try speed reading the first time. Then go through it with more attention the next times. Think of it as a constructive operation of your tool. I hope this helps you with your journey!

I suggest you start with a clean configuration file and add one line at a time. Then, you will understand each and every line you insert. If you start with a giant configuration, you will just replicate the configuration someone else likes and you will take a long time to understand what is happening and how to change what happens. Anyway, it might work for you!

Isn't it much easier to copy the first one and change the day, instead
of going through the learning curve of database administration? Of
course that, if you have a bazooka, you can even write a love letter

Re: bug#58774: 29.0.50; [WISH]: Let us make EWW browse WWW Org files correctly
I think that this would be very useful for me. In fact, it would be a good way to make Emac work without being a tool for corporations (as Firefox is) to control user's computers (unless the user decides to allow running Babel by default). Maybe even Gemini is a good candidate to work this out.

I coould learn how to install it. Then, I should teach the end-user to use it. But the program was not made or installed by the end-user. I might be able to teach the end-user to modify it. But I doubt it. What I mean is that end-users must have an easy entry point. Of course that ease must not hide innner workings because that would disempower the end-user.

This is a great summary about the use of database to hold information. But it requires experience configuring databases for end-users. It could work if the database was set up by someone else or if the fields were easy to define by the end-user by some kind of interface. On the other hand, there is a movement to use plain text for everything. I know you disagree. But here is some information about accounting this way: https://plaintextaccounting.org I learned a lot of elisp by reading your long explanation about how to construct a contact database directly on Emacs 29 without adding anything else. Thank you very much!

For example, if a field in a ‘$’ row contains ‘max=50’, then formulas in this table can refer to the value 50 using ‘$max’. Parameters work exactly like constants, only that they can be defined on a per-table basis.

Re: How do you manage complex project with Org-mode
Hello Seb. It is great that you want to use org for your planning. It is the best tool I know of. Tim's advice sounds the best introductory one and others even gave you advanced advice. Nevertheless, you never told us how you use org and why it takes so much time for you. Perhaps you could take less time to plan and more time to do, without completely trashing the planning. Then you could increment the planning until it proves to be more time consuming. At that point you can reduce a little planning again. It is a tuning process. Happy Hacking! Quiliro

I am not sure if I am helpful. But I am an org user. I am not a developer. I would like to contribute any testing. Currently I use version 9.3. I do not want to install anything which is outside my operating system distribution software versions (Hyperbola GNU 0.4). I am also unable to use microphone and camera with the web browser because of security concerns by the distribution developers. I have used ERC, mailing lists, Tox and Mumble successfully with this distribution. With these caveats, please consider my contributions, if required.

My fiancee is a preschool teacher (programming is not her area of expertize). But she quickly learned how to use it. She keeps about 3700 per year with 4500 lines. It takes her about 10 minutes per day. With that investment, she can even tell how much we have spent on apples or on all fruits (as detailed or general as she wants). On these two years, she has saved us about half our budget and has us living much better thanks to the knowledge of what we want to invest on. (We now do not think of how to spend money, but how to invest it. That changes the point view completely.) There are complicated reports as well as very simple ones that can be generated. And you can always customize them to the last bit. There is also a website http://plaintextaccounting.org . There is plenty of information there. You can also use org-babel to include formulas for Ledger reports. Just ask away! :-)
