Wow, thanks, I didn't know about it. Now that I look into this, should I use `org-agenda-skip-function' or `org-agenda-skip-function-global'? Also, how do I check whether one of the parents is done? I know how to climb through the hierarchy of headlines, how do I get the TODO keyword? Is `org-get-todo-state' the right function to do that? Now that I think of it, maybe I should use a tag for that (like :project: or something). I'll have to think about it. > Regards, Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
