The first hit is free! ;-) Org-mode (like Planner) can pull people into using Emacs (however scary and intimidating it might seem in the beginning.) And it's only a short step from bbdb, remember and even mighty gnus. :) I have had almost the same experience as the author here [1]. 1. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-wiki-discuss/2005-04/msg00011.html But remember: planning != doing (might seem obvious to you but I still don't /get/ it. :) > I don't know where or how to customize it - so I use it just like it is. > (not that I wouldn't like to tweek stuff.) There are two components to this: 1. knowing how to put stuff in .emacs (either by hand or by using Customize interface) 2. knowing what to put in there. For #1: Seek help from Emacs documentation or on Emacs-help mailing list. For #2: Imagine the functionality you would want in your ideal project/task planner and then look that up in Org-mode manual, FAQ and list archives. If you do not find it there (unlikely) then do not hesitate to ask on the list. Just do not try to customize everything in one go. Keep using and customizing it as you better understand your own workflows. -- Manish _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
