Now I am started to be satisfied with my setup. But I there is one thing I would like to improve. I would like to have people as first class citizens. I want to easily add people to the appointment. I want to be able to add people to tasks easily. I want to track with whom I spend time with. i want to be able to add people to meeting logs, with professional titles easily, and other selected contact information easily I want to be able to mange the contact data centrally,so if I add a person to a task/appoinment I can easily get to his contact information. I want to easily look up what I have ongoing with a specific person before I meet him to remind me if there is anything I should bring up to him. Sacha speaks about BBDB but it does not not really seem to do what I want. Julien Danjou have made contacts.el, might to be a better fit. I'd still recommend taking a closer look at BBDB -- make sure you get version 3. Integration with Org is pretty good: you can add links to BBDB contacts, with completion. I'm knocking the last rough edges of a small package designed to bridge some of the air-gaps between Org, Gnus, and BBDB -- I'll have a usable version done Real Soon Now. Relevant to your use-case, it allows tagging BBDB contacts with Org-type tags, so you can 1) open an Org agenda from the tags of the displayed BBDB contacts; 2) do the inverse of that: pop up a BBDB buffer corresponding to the tags search of the Org agenda; or 3) pop up a BBDB buffer showing all the records linked to from the current heading. A little glue goes a long way... E

Hello Shin, On 2014-04-30 20:17 Shin Sungmin wrote: But, how does it make it easier to assign a person to a task in my todo.org? Is there any type of auto complete functionality? You have the function org-contacts which helps you search through your contacts. From there you can quickly jump to the contact you want to link, store a link to that heading `org-store-link' and insert that link in your todo.org with `C-c C-l' and then `M-p'. Do I have to make a manual link to the people.org file instance to be able to easily access that persons contact information? In essence this is just a plain old manual org link to the right headline in person.org. The procedure described above is not very automatic. You may want to take a look at helm. Its a completion and narrowing framework, something a bit like ido, but way more powerful. There is a plugin for helm that lets you search/complete/narrow over the headline of an org-file. It might even offer to execute certain actions on said headlines such as creating and inserting a link to them. I just heard of said plugin, but never used it. If it does indeed have described functionality it would make linking to a contact as simple as pressing a key binding (launching helm on people.org) typing a few characters to narrow to the contact you want to insert and press enter to insert said link.

Re: [O] Contacts/Resources/People
Yes, i meant org-contacts.I created a file I called people.org and I input some contacts in it.But, how does it make it easier to assign a person to a task in my todo.org? Is there any type of auto complete functionality? Do I have to make a manual link to the people.org file instance to be able to easily access that persons contact information?Thank you in advance./Sungminps.This mailings list / community is awesome!- 원본 메일 -보낸사람: Alexander Baier lexi.ba...@gmail.com받는사람 : Sungmin sungsongs...@daum.net참조 : emacs-orgmode@gnu.org날짜: 2014년 5월 01일 목요일, 02시 55분 36초 +0900제목: Re: Contacts/Resources/People On 2014-04-30 18:28 Sungmin wrote: Julien Danjou have made contacts.el, might to be a better fit. If you are referring to org-contacts than this might just be your solution. Or at least the best way possible to integrate your contacts with other org-related things. With org-contacts your address book is just a plain old org-mode formatted file, where headlines with a certain property (the default is EMAIL I think) are treated as contacts. For example: #+begin_src org * Person A :PROPERTIES: :EMAIL: a...@example.com :END: ** Notes Meeting - foo - bar... * Person B :PROPERTIES: :EMAIL: b...@example.com :END: #+end_src As you can see, notes are easily added as you are just editing your plain old org-file. Adding people to a certain event may just be as simple as linking to the headline corresponding to the person. About tracking time, there should be functionality for this built in - I am no expert there. HTH, -- Alexander Baier

A discussion about contacts, etc. from a couple of years ago might be useful. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/57972 Charlie Millar
