Its amazing what you can do with this package! I have weekly meetings I attend where we take a look at different sources of status information. We have an action item list in an Excel file, an issue tracking list in Test Track (from Seapine Software) and a project schedule in Microsoft Project.
I decided I didn't like looking in three (or sometimes more) different files to collect the tasks I (and my group) had coming up so I wrote a Perl script to query those sources and write the results into different Org files. It all works great and now C-c a a reads these files and prints any upcoming deadlines from these tasks in my agenda. What a terrific way to keep track of assigned tasks. There is a drawback, however. Once these files are created I would like to add notes to them and have these notes persist. Unfortunately, right now I don't have any way of doing this as these files get overwritten when I run my Perl script again. So, does anyone have any ideas about how to go about a task like this? Is there some way to, for example, write information to a 'temporary' Org file and "merge" the info? I would not want to write this in Perl and I don't know elisp well enough to try anything like this that way either. Perhaps I am looking for too much. But I have gotten spoiled with such a great package. Mark _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
