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!
Marc
