Michael:
Thank you for this info. I didn't know that you could add two scheduled
dates to a task! Unfortunately, org-mode doesn't handle the dual
schedule the way I would wish. For example if I have:
* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-24 Thu>
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-29 Tue +1w>
and I mark the item as done via agenda mode (by hitting 't') it changes
to this:
* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-24 Thu>
SCHEDULED: <2013-02-05 Tue +1w>
Thus it not only doesn't appear from my to-do list but it skips a
rescheduled event that I don't want to have skipped. Am I doing it wrong?
Even if this is the best org-mode can do at the moment, it's a better
solution than what I have been doing.
Thank you,
:AMN:

I'd like to modify the org-mode code to support the following:
1. Add a date tag to an entry that indicates that it is "inactive" until a
certain date. I'm picturing something like this:
***** TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-11 Tue +1w> DELAY: <2013-01-24 Thu>
(I assume you meant Tue Jan 08:
* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-08 Tue +1w> DELAY: <2013-01-24 Thu>
)
Such tasks I do like follows, starting with:
* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-08 Tue +1w>
Then set to DONE as many times as necessary to get it to the first
regular repetition in the future:
* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-29 Tue +1w>
Then add the one irregular date just as a normal SCHEDULED:
* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-24 Thu>
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-29 Tue +1w>
At or after 2013-01-24 when the task is done go to the irregular date
with TAB from the agenda view and delete the line, resulting again in:
* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-29 Tue +1w>
