;;; Commentary:

;; * The idea
;;
;; Todo lists, schedules, phone databases... everything we use
;; databases for is really just a way to extend the power of our
;; memory.  To be able to remember what our conscious mind may not
;; currently have access to.
;;
;; There are many different databases out there -- and good ones --
;; which this mode is not trying to replace.  Rather, it's how that
;; data gets there that's the question.  Most of the time, we just
;; want to say "Remember so-and-so's phone number, or that I have to
;; buy dinner for the cats tonight."  That's the FACT.  How it's
;; stored is really the computer's problem.  But at this point in
;; time, it's most definitely also the user's problem, and sometimes
;; so laboriously so that people just let data slip, rather than
;; expend the effort to record it.
;;
;; "Remember" is a mode for remembering data.  It uses whatever
;; back-end is appropriate to record and correlate the data, but it's
;; main intention is to allow you to express as _little_ structure as
;; possible up front.  If you later want to express more powerful
;; relationships between your data, or state assumptions that were at
;; first too implicit to be recognized, you can "study" the data later
;; and rearrange it.  But the initial "just remember this" impulse
;; should be as close to simply throwing the data at Emacs as
;; possible.
;;
;; * Implementation
;;
;; Hyperbole, as a data presentation tool, always struck me as being
;; very powerful, but it seemed to require a lot of "front-end" work
;; before that data was really available.  The problem with BBDB, or
;; keeping up a Bibl-mode file, is that you have to use different
;; functions to record the data, and it always takes time to stop what
;; you're doing, format the data in the manner expected by that
;; particular data interface, and then resume your work.
;;
;; With "remember", you just hit `M-x remember' (you'd probably want
;; to bind this to an easily accessible keystroke, like C-x M-r), slam
;; in your text however you like, and then hit C-c C-c.  It will file
;; the data away for later retrieval, and possibly indexing.
;;
;; Indexing is to data what "studying" is in the real world.  What you
;; do when you study (or lucubrate, for some of us) is to realize
;; certain relationships implicit in the data, so that you can make
;; use of those relationships.  Expressing that a certain quote you
;; remembered was a religious quote, and that you want the ability to
;; pull up all quotes of a religious nature, is what studying does.
;; This is a more labor intensive task than the original remembering
;; of the data, and it's typical in real life to set aside a special
;; period of time for doing this work.
;;
;; "Remember" works in the same way.  When you enter data, either by
;; typing it into a buffer, or using the contents of the selected
;; region, it will store that data -- unindexed, uninterpreted -- in a
;; data pool.  It will also try to remember as much context
;; information as possible (any text properties that were set, where
;; you copied it from, when, how, etc).  Later, you can walk through
;; your accumulated set of data (both organized, and unorganized) and
;; easily begin moving things around, and making annotations that will
;; express the full meaning of that data, as far as you know it.
;;
;; Obviously this latter stage is more user-interface intensive, and
;; it would be nice if "remember" could do it as elegantly as
;; possible, rather than requiring a billion keystrokes to reorganize
;; your hierarchy.  Well, as the future arrives, hopefully experience
;; and user feedback will help to make this as intuitive a tool as
;; possible.
;;
;; * Future Goals
;;
;; This tool hopes to track (and by doing it with as little new code
;; as possible):
;;
;;  - The raw data that gets entered
;;
;;  - The relationships between that data (either determined
;;    implicitly by parsing the input, or explicitly by the user's
;;    studying the data).
;;
;;  - Revisioning of the data
;;
;;  - Where it came from, and any context information that can be
;;    programmatically determined.
;;
;;  - Allowing particular views of the initially amorphous data pool
;;    (ala the Xanadu concept).
;;
;;  - Storage of the data in a manner most appropriate to that data,
;;    such as keeping address-book type information in BBDB, etc.
;;
;; * Using "remember"
;;
;; As a rough beginning, what I do is to keep my `remember-data-file' in
;; outline-mode format, with a final entry called "* Raw data".  Then,
;; at intervals, I can move the data that gets appended there into
;; other places.  But certainly this should evolve into an intuitive
;; mechanism for shuffling data off to its appropriate corner of the
;; universe.
;;
;; To map the primary remember function to the keystroke F8, do the
;; following.
;;
;;   (autoload 'remember "remember" nil t)
;;
;;   (define-key global-map [f8] 'remember)
;;
;; * Feedback
;;
;; If Emacs could become a more intelligent data store, where
;; brainstorming would focus on the IDEAS involved -- rather than the
;; structuring and format of those ideas, or having to stop your
;; current flow of work in order to record them -- it would map much
;; more closely to how the mind (well, at least mine) works, and hence
;; would eliminate that very manual-ness which computers from the very
;; beginning have been championed as being able to reduce.
;;
;; Have you ever noticed that having a laptop to write on doesn't
;; _actually_ increase the amount of quality material that you turn
;; out, in the long run?  Perhaps its because the time we save
;; electronically in one way, we're losing electronically in another;
;; the tool should never dominate one's focus.  As the mystic
;; Farīd ud-Dīn ʿAṭṭār wrote: "Be occupied as little as possible with
;; things of the outer world but much with things of the inner world;
;; then right action will overcome inaction."
;;
;; * Diary integration
;;
;; To use, add the following to your .emacs:
;;
;;   ;; This should be before other entries that may return t
;;   (add-to-list 'remember-handler-functions 'remember-diary-extract-entries)
;;
;; This module recognizes entries of the form
;;
;;   DIARY: ....
;;
;; and puts them in your ~/.diary (or remember-diary-file) together
;; with an annotation.  Dates in the form YYYY.MM.DD are converted to
;; YYYY-MM-DD so that diary can understand them.
;;
;; For example:
;;
;;   DIARY: 2003.08.12 Sacha's birthday
;;
;; is stored as
;;
;;   2003.08.12 Sacha's birthday
