I thought about some org-depend improvements to take it to the next
level.

Since many Org-mode users do not know or use org-depend.el, I
decided to write a blog post about it and how improvements can easy
my digital life:

        http://karl-voit.at/2016/12/18/org-depend/

Some improvements are probably solved with a few lines of Elisp code.
Unfortunately, I am very bad at coding Elisp myself and thus can't
extend Emacs the way I would love to.

For discussion purposes, I now append the improvements as separate
mailinglist emails here as well:

2 Improvement: Generating IDs From Heading and Date
===================================================

  So far, I define `:ID:' properties manually. There are settings that
  result in random IDs set for any new heading. I don't like random ID
  numbers because I would like to get a hint what heading this might be
  when I see it.

  Usually, my IDs start with the current ISO day to enforce uniqueness
  and look like this:

   *Title*                               *Manual ID*
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Update notebook                       2016-12-18-update-notebook
   Schedule a meeting with Bob           2016-12-18-schedule-meeting-bob
   Add additional URLs to lecture notes  2016-12-18-add-URLs-to-lecture

  Wouldn't it be nice when there is a command which takes the current
  heading title and auto-generates the ID property accordingly? I guess
  this is not that hard to do:

   *Title*                               *Auto-generated ID*
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Update notebook                       2016-12-18-Update-notebook
   Schedule a meeting with Bob           2016-12-18-Schedule-a-meeting-with-Bob
   Add additional URLs to lecture notes  2016-12-18-Add-additional-URLs-to-lecture-notes
