Hey to all and thanks for the great work! Org-mode is impressing and of large value to me. --- I have severel ideas about new features that I want to share. My knowledge with lisp and the coding of the org-structure is bad so far, so I can't try to contribute a patch. * 1. *Alias - Trees* When I work on projects, I often want to /reference to a certain other heading/. It would be great to do this not just with links, but /with an alias/. I think of trees, that show up and can be in the current tree as if they were a subtree, but really are at another position in the current or a different file. This concept would also allow seperate versioning and merging of external generated content into the current file. ( I e.g. think of summaries of text in the scientific context. ) * 2. More flexible *Colouring for categories*, tags, ... . It would be great to have the /opportunity to define individual faces for different categories, tags/ , ... . * 3. Implementation of *hourly/minutely reference*. It would be useful to be able to schedule something to repeat every 12 or 6 hours or in 22 minutes. It would also be useful, to have the opportunity to associate asynchronous shell scripts with individual scheduled events. * 4. *Exclude certain days from Timeline* The opportunity to /give/ whole days the status /<PLANNED for a certain project>/ . That would mean, that when I fire up the /Timeline/ for a current file (L), certain days are /show/ with a message "/day is planned for project <FILE>/. in a certain project specific project. It would also be useful to have a keycommand in the /Timeline/ to /switch other files on showing them in gray/. * 5. *Manually timeclock certain Headings* I would love to have a commands that can change the clocktime of not running headings or insert new clocktimes into the current heading. E.g. like this: Change the clocktime of <HEADING>: (s) change last timeclock and keep the Start time. -> How long did it last? (e) change last timeclock and keep the End time -> How long did it last? (# C-u offset to change the #n last timeclock) (a) add new timeclock -> Ask for Start and End. (with opportunity to specify the END relative) * 6. *Expand timestamps to include locations* e.g. <LOCATION 2008-01-01 12:30 +1w> Special timestamp-commands that also ask for places and presents a list of all places of all projects to choose from. * 7. *More complex timeclock-reports* Is anyone working on a more comprehensive way of giving visual feedback and analysing the data of the timeclock-feature. (What have I done the last month? How many time has gone to which project / etc.) I am a relatively known [[http://cran.r-project.org/][GNU R]] user and could contribute code for analysis of time usage / plotting complex more diagrams in R. Allthough I am not very used to the export mechanisms in Orgmode. Does anyone like to cooperate? Once again: thanks for doing it!
