[O] automatic scheduling of next task in project
I would like org-mode to remind me automatically of the next task in a project. Perhaps an example will help. I'll use outline headings to show the levels of tasks * Write trends paper ** global section *** analyze GCP results *** Calculate confidence intervals on trends ** Inverse Model section *** Code to read inverse model output *** Calculate regional Uncertainties Generate new region groupings Rerun calculation etc etc I can flatten this list into a list of TODO and I can store it as a separate project that will be incorporated into the agenda view. What I would like is that when I change one of these items to "done" the next one is automatically scheduled into the agenda. It means I can plan the workflow for a project then not have to bother remembering where I was up to ... guess who is doing too many things at once :-) Is this already possible? If not, is it worth creating some kind of file option so that, when a file is scanned for incorporation into the agenda view, the first TODO item that isn't listed as done will be listed in the agenda?

Re: [O] superscripts, tables and latex
Hmm, at the moment this still isn't working. The following compile log is possibly relevant: Leaving directory `/home/prayner/' Compiling file /home/prayner/packages/org-mode/contrib/lisp/org-e-latex.el at Fri Sep 7 22:28:37 2012 Entering directory `/home/prayner/packages/org-mode/contrib/lisp/' org-e-latex.el:49:1:Error: Wrong type argument: listp, org-e-latex-center-block the problem still occurs when I call org-e-latex-export-to-latex this is from the latest pull from the repository.

[O] overruling subscripts in latex export
I'm documenting some code including lists of parameters. These have underscores in them which I don't want to interpret as subscripts. According to the manual I can overrule this behaviour with an option but it looks like I'm doing something wrong. Here is the test file #+OPTIONS: ^:{} #+TITLE: test file - p_c_in :: this is the first parameter - g_c_in :: and this is the second And here is the exported latex % Created 2012-01-25 Wed 12:04 \documentclass[11pt]{article} % package includes deleted \title{test file} \author{Peter Rayner} \date{25 January 2012} \begin{document} \maketitle \setcounter{tocdepth}{3} \tableofcontents \vspace*{1cm} \begin{description} \item[p$_c$$_{\mathrm{in}}$] this is the first parameter \item[g$_c$$_{\mathrm{in}}$] and this is the second \end{description} \end{document} Note those $ signs in the \item brackets. I would rather see p\_c\_in or \verb|p_c_in| I am probably misunderstanding how to set the option, could someone please explain?

[Orgmode] automatically scheduling sequences of events
I have lots of projects which have work flows but no real schedule. So a task like * todo write satellite paper might have subtasks like ** todo prepare orbit simulation for Katja ** todo get results from Claire ** todo compare with David and Frederic ** todo schedule teleconference to share writing tasks etc etc I would probably schedule the first of these for some free time. What I would like is that when subtask 1 (simulation for Katja) is done that the second (wait for results) is automatically scheduled and so appears in my agenda. Of course the first thing I might do is reschedule it but at least it hasn't fallen out of sight. I suspect the "stuck project" agenda view accomplishes this manually but I would be interested in automating this if it were possible. It could be, too, that I need to learn to spend more time outside the "agenda view".

[Orgmode] adding notes from agenda buffer
I am still learning org-mode so apologies in advance: I spend most of my org-mode time in the agenda buffer, usually visiting the underlying files as I tidy up or review. I would like to quickly add notes to a task as I am working on it, even if the state isn't changing and have them appear in the right place. This seems like something people would do often so I suspect I'm missing an obvious mechanism.

RE: [Orgmode] bug in todo state change tracking?
I *think* I'm seeing the same thing: My org-todo-keywords is set as: (setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t!@)" "STARTED(s!@)" "WAITING(w!@)" "DELEGATED(l!@)" "APPT(a!@)" "|" "DONE(d!@)" "DEFERRED(e!@)" "CANCELLED(x!@)"))) and I have org-use-fast-todo-selection set to t In the agenda view when I type tw the state is changed to waiting without prompting for a note. Probably I am overriding this behaviour erroneously with some other setting but I'm not sure where.
