Aloha, This sort of thing is really a project management issue. While I know you're asking for an org-mode solution, something like Task Juggler will do the kind of scheduling you want. But it would be a fair amount of work entering progress and updating scenarios every night. What is really needed is a good org-mode/Task Juggler interface. (There is an Emacs interface but it's meant for creating and running Task Juggler scenarios directly.) I'm not necessarily volunteering to write one, but it could be done. However this doesn't help you in the near term. To further the concept: If TODOs had due dates/time estimates/time spent as perhaps additional properties, and there was a better way to express dependencies (I think there is already an org-mode adjunct for this), some coding could turn this into a Task Juggler input file. There is already a project management adjunct for Emacs, but it doesn't do scheduling. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i * Via Gnus/BBDB/Org/Emacs/Linux *
