 Hi all,

 I've just released Org 8.2.2, a bugfix release.

 Thanks all for your contributions!

Thank you, Bastien.

Will Org 8.2.2 be merged into the development trunk of Emacs?  Or, is
the proper way to keep up with Org-mode through the ELPA?  (Please
forgive if this has been mentioned on-list already---though I try to
keep up).

When I updated Org by way of ELPA, I started getting backtraces like
this when syncing with MobileOrg:

org-refresh-category-properties: Invalid function:
org-with-silent-modifications

... and forgive this, too, but I haven't been able to get new Org
changes since 7.9-something.

[Orgmode] wish list: underscore

2010-05-10 Thread Sean Sieger
In Org files putting an underscore at each of a word begets an ugly
underline that extends to the original underscores and doubles them.

In Gnus mail putting an underscore at each end of a _word_ begets an
expected result of underlining the word itself.

I wish that Org would do that too, or at least leave it alone like say
info does.

[Orgmode] remember templates

2010-04-26 Thread Sean Sieger
I've have tried, but gotta ask, is it possible to write a template that
will prepend

* mmdd

to an Org file?  So many of my Org files---journal, WORKSHEET(s), and so
on, are written `backward' and I'd so like to do that orgamagically.

I'd agree with Russell's conclusion that if one does not use an emacs
mail client, then there is not much point to using BBDB.

But if one uses Gnus or the like, the integration BBDB offers (e.g.,
automated addition of new addresses, auto-notes, TAB completion for
addresses, etc.) is still difficult to surpass. Until someone codes some
nice integration between an org-mode address database and emacs mail
clients, switching to an org database would require one to forgo all the
nice automation that BBDB offers. (Do you really want to enter all new
email addresses manually in an org file?)

I've found BBDB to be incredibly convenient. But I use Gnus for email.
If I were using Gmail or Thunderbird or Mutt, I wouldn't use BBDB at
all.

I do not like the telephone and BBDB eases the displeasure.  I guess
it's the same with writing checks and addressing envelopes.  So I keep
important phone numbers and addresses at my fingertips with BBDB and all
Internet related business in my Gmail Contacts and Labels.  Gnus I use
for reading news.

[Orgmode] org manual - section 2.8

2009-10-26 Thread Sean Sieger
I got tripped up by,

2.8 Plain lists
===

Within an entry of the outline tree, hand-formatted lists can provide
additional structure.  They also provide a way to create lists of
checkboxes (*note Checkboxes::).  Org supports editing such lists, and
the HTML exporter (*note Exporting::) parses and formats them.

   Org knows ordered lists, unordered lists, and description lists.
   * _Unordered_ list items start with `-', `+', or `*'(1) as bullets.

   * _Ordered_ list items start with a numeral followed by either a
 period or a right parenthesis, such as `1.' or `1)'.

   * _Description_ list items are like unordered list items, but
 contain the separator ` :: ' to separate the description _term_
 from the description.

... this last item contains the phrase `are like'; wouldn't it read
clearer,

   * _Description_ list items are unordered list items, and contain the
 separator ` :: ' to separate the description _term_ from the
 description.

[Orgmode] Re: Documentation wishlist items

2009-09-15 Thread Sean Sieger
Ethan ethan.glasser.c...@gmail.com writes:

Thanks for the mail Ethan.  I approached Org ... I don't know, a few
years ago having really really taken advantage of Outline.  I promptly
made a mess, trying things I thought I needed to and went back to
Outline and organization that was natural to me.  The experience helped
me formulate goals and I came back to Org only weeks ago armed with
fairly precise ideas.

The fundamental problem is that org-mode isn't a planner, it isn't
an organizer. It's a toolkit full of tools which people use
differently, in lots of ways, to build their own
planner/organizer. To understand org-mode, you have to understand
all of the tools available, and the options you have for each, and
the ways they interact with the other tools.

Nah, to understand what Org can do for me, I needed to understand myself
and my limitations.

In my opinion, the documentation doesn't explore the interactions
well enough, it doesn't present the tools in an order that is
conducive to learning, and it never explains why you might choose
one option of tool instead of another.

Right.  That documentation has evolved in the little time I've been
reading it.  It does explain, and so does this list that the fundamental
... um, primary action is to quickly Capture.  That's how I came to Org
this time---getting a ~/.notes file going.  Capturing fleeting thoughts
and appending them to that file and then discerning what and how to
organize them.

[...]

I wish I could offer more concrete improvements in the form of
patches and so on! Maybe as I learn more about org-mode I can do
this too, but I wanted to offer this criticism while it was still
fresh in my mind.

... Just captured something my six year-old daughter said on the phone.
I should concentrate on her.  I'll do F8 (remember's bound to it)
several more times in talking with her.

[Orgmode] longlines, wrap, auto-fill

2009-08-27 Thread Sean Sieger
I recently switched to Org-Mode---haven't used it in three years as I
had wanted to get back to the simplicity of Outline Mode.  Now I think I
know how to keep it simple in Org-Mode

Anyway, something that bugs me is that when I hit SPC or RET,
auto-fill is effected but I'm left out in columns in the middle of the
text as opposed to column 0 at the left edge of my emacs window.  Is
this a longlines versus wrap thing---pardon my ignorance on this, I did
however look through the Org manual---and I need to put something in my
dotemacs?

The use of Org- instead of Outline-Mode is costing me an extra C-a,
right?
