Is there already an Emacs package out there that does what my program does? probably. you surmise as much yourself. why not actually finish your research instead of asking for others to do that for you? (see Y and Z below.) But maybe my version of things has potential on its own. After all, it is simple. Would you like to see an Emacs Lisp port? personally, i would like to see a post like "hey, i know there are N todo systems out there (according to Y and Z research methods), but none that i've seen has these features: A, B, C -- how can i incorporate them into existing elisp todo system T, which seems most likely to be able to support my new features?", posted to gnu-emacs-help, and then after a bit of time has passed, code posted to gnu-emacs-sources. for Y and Z, try google and http://www.emacswiki.org to start. alternatively, if A, B and C are seemingly not implementable in elisp, i would like to see questions on how to do so (posted to gnu-emacs-help); maybe i can learn something from the resulting discussion. thi
