Carsten, thank you for explanation.
Hopefully, I will get FSF papers soon.
In a meanwhile, here is another patch that introduces following
changes:
In case we set effort estimate on the currently clocked item,
show message when time is up (notification is shown only once)
* Linux only: If libnotify is used - the standard notification
system in linux, then show notification with it.
Note: Additional package libnotify-bin should be installed.
Additionally, if variable org-clock-sound is set, interpret it as
path to sound file
and play it (wav files only).
* If aplay (tool from alsa - standard linux sound system) is
available play sound
with it (all type of files).
So, if someone has interest in this features, please try it.
I also would like to discuss If we want this functionality (sound and
notification) in the core,
or it is better to put it to the extension... Or, just introduce
another variable that controls if we show notification or not...
I think we can put this into the core if:
- this will work without crashing on any system where Emacs runs on,
i.e. if the re is no way to play a sound file, fall back to (ding)
with a message or so...
TODO:
* As proposed by Daniel, give user an option to see total time, spend
on the task instead of currently clocked time.
In fact, this functionality requires refactoring of org-clock-sum
function. Is it ok, if I do it?
Maybe you don't really need to refactor it:
(save-restriction
(org-narrow-to-subtree)
(org-clock-sum)
org-clock-file-total-minutes)
will give you the total clocked time in minutes.

best,
Konstantin
patch is made on the git version of orgmode.

Here is the patch to org-clock.el that does show estimated effort in
the mode-line if it is set. Like so: 01:20/01:30 (clocked
time/estimated time)
It does it by:
* Setting new variable org-clock-effort in org-clock-in function.
* If org-clock-effort is not nil, show estimated effort in the
mode-line.
I would like to go further and do the following:
* Make a beep/or highlight if we spend more time on a task that
initially intended
* As proposed by Daniel, give user an option to see total time,
spend
on the task instead of currently clocked time.
Does somebody else need this? Will this changes be accepted to the
orgmode-core?
I just saw that in order to contribute, you need to sign some
papers..
Is this the only way?
I am new to open-source, so I am not really familiar with such
things.
Hi Konstantin,
this is interesting functionality which I would like to have in the
core.
I can accept short patches of only a few lines without the
paperwork, but
your patch is already at the limit, and adding the other ideas you
have
will push it over that limit. We have the following possibilities:
1. You sign the papers. This is very simple to do, unless you have
an employer who owns everything you do and who might make problems.
This would be my preferred solution.
2. I can put stuff without FSF copyright assignment into the
contrib directory - you could make a little package that hooks
into Org, I would created any hooks needed.
3. I treat your contribution as an "idea/feature request" and
implement
it myself. As I have many other things to do, this is my least
preferred
solution.
If you decide to sign the papers, please get the form from the
homepage
orgmode.org (near te end) and send it to the FSF, with a CC to me.
This
will take you no more than 2 minutes. We can then proceed with
integrating
your stuff into the Org core, but I will be able to integrate this
change
into Emacs only after I receive confirmation about the signed
paper, which
will happen within a fee weeks or so.

Hi Daniel,
Yes, you are right indeed. I am talking about effort estimates -
I'v
missed this chapter for some reason from the manual.
I like the idea you proposed - to show how much time is left in
the
mode line. And I think I am going to write necessary code for
this.
Or, may be someone has even better idea?
best,
Konstantin

Hi.
I suppose you talk about estimated efforts. I also have
noticed that I
work better if I have defined them, but it is very easy to miss
them and
work on a task more time than planned.
An easy improvement would be to show at the mode line not only
how
much time you have worked on the current task but also the
remaining time
according to your effort estimate. And if it comes to 0,
highlight it
noticeably.
Other useful things to show would be the *total* elapsed time
(not
only the elapsed time of the last C-c C-x C-i) or directly the
effort
estimate (instead of the remaining time, the total time).
And as you say, an alarm would be useful.

Hi everybody!
I am constantly trying to be more productive, and there is one
thing
that I noticed:
If you give yourself a specific time for a task, then you tend
to
finish this task in this time. It helps to stay focused and do
stuff
that is most important.
So, the question is - Is there any way to set a timer on a
taks, and
get a bell when it is expired?
Some time before I even wrote a small extension that helps me
to do
that http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/tea-time
But now I am thinking - is there an orgmode-way to do that? It
would
be great to integrate it with great time tracking system, for
example...
If nobody uses proposed feature, please give me a hint how it
would be
best to do that.
my best,
Konstantin
