[O] jabref like orgmode based solution to bibliography management (not for latex)
Hi all i have been using jabref for the past 2-4 years in my academia work to manage my reference library. i dont use latex (..its on my TODO list...when (f ever) i have time..) so for now i just want something to manage my references. the key things i need to move over from jabref are: 1. easy add references 2. a way to quick filter references (helm bibtex seems like a good solution) 3. filter lists based on tags/keywords (orgmode has that covered) 4. this one is important: a way to quickly export selected references in word/odf/html based on a pre fixed style (ie Nature, Chicago etc) anyone uses such a system in emacs/org and can recommend the way to go? thx! z

[O] Formatting in Visual Line Mode
In visual line mode headlines wrap around and remained glossed as headlines; nevertheless it would be better if they adjusted to the hierarchy: /* I weary of scholars neighing against Ahab, who is magnificent in his heroism. Would they have him hunt for more blubber? His chase has Job’s Leviathan in view, a quarry representing Yahweh’s sanctified tyranny of nature over man. Far more readable (and elegant) than: /* I weary of scholars neighing against Ahab, who is magnificent in his heroism. Would they have him hunt for more blubber? His chase has Job’s Leviathan in view, a quarry representing Yahweh’s sanctified tyranny of nature over man. I tend to avoid long headlines, but sometimes they are necessary. Hopefully there is a quick fix already out there. The ability to fill headlines would also be a solution here.

[O] Testers / Feedback wanted: Gantt charts via org-gantt.el
Hi, my org-gantt.el is now in a usable state. It creates gantt charts via pgfgantt directly from headlines in org mode, using deadlines, schedules, effort estimates and (optionally) clocked time. In contrast to ox-taskjuggler it does not require an external program, and in contrast to Eric Fraga's gantt chart creation it reads from the headlines instead of a specific table. Something like this has been discussed on this list, but I couldn't find that anyone has actually implemented it. For some examples, take a look at the charts in the manual: https://github.com/HeyFlash/emacs-stuff/blob/master/experiments/org-gantt-manual.pdf Source: https://github.com/HeyFlash/emacs-stuff/blob/master/experiments/org-gantt-manual.org As I think this might be useful for others I wanted to make it available. I would be happy about feedback. The file itself can be found here: https://github.com/HeyFlash/emacs-stuff/blob/master/experiments/org-gantt.el Regards, Bernhard

Over time, I keep finding more and more uses for org-mode. It's now my main tool for keeping an agenda/todo list, and for writing informal documents including images, GraphViz diagrams, etc. And I still haven't scratched the surface. Years ago, I used records-mode as a quick way to keep notes about what I did each day, so I could refer to them later. I haven't found an org-mode substitute for that. Is there some feature of combination of features that let's me enter notes arranged by date, create links to earlier notes referencing the same terms, etc.?
