I find that completing a task often results in follow-up information
that I'd like to add to the entry in my org file.  In this way, my
follow-up notes are connected to the action which generated them.

Here's an example.  Prior to doing the task, I might have something
like this:
** TODO Generate a histogram of Foo data
   - Use August test data

Then, after completing the task, I might want something like this:
** DONE Generate a histogram of Foo data
   CLOSED: [2006-09-06 Tue 12:00]
   - Use August test data
   FOLLOW-UP:
- Histogram is [[file:foo-aug-histogram.pdf][here]]


I like this idea and will try to implement it.  However, where to store 
the followup note is difficult to determine - how about inserting it 
directly after the CLOSED time stamp?  This may be not be perfect 
because it will be before any other information in the entry, but I 
find it even more difficult to have it at the end of a possibly very 
long subtree of reference data.

I think that directly under CLOSED is pretty good.  For me, when I look 
back at my notes, it's usually the result of the TODO that I'm looking 
for anyway, so near the top is good.


Thanks for taking this on.
