I *just* corresponded with the list about something like this within the last month or two, but can't find the thread. The response I got back was that the person relied on adding descriptive words to all the todos, which is what I've been doing, but I don't like it. I host a lot of external vendors at work and have the same structure for all of them: ---------- * proj [/] host vendor x ** todo set date ** todo book room ** todo request abstract ** todo submit event announcement ** todo post presentation online ---------- They're so similar that I can just copy/yank the subtree from one to the other... but then I have to go change each to: ---------- ** todo x: set date ---------- and so on. Time consuming and non-ideal. It would be great to know what the subtask belongs to for things like this. When I have two vendors within a week or two, it gets confusing.
