For me, probably 85% of my emacs usage is org-mode (planning, note-taking, powerpoint/doc generation); it ships with emacs, so if you haven't looked into it yet, I would strongly recommend it. They also have a mailing list parallel to this one. The same thing can be done with the regular calendar. The syntax for the example Tory gives above would be: %%(diary-float t 0 2) Ward Council Meeting: 2nd Sunday of the month. %%(diary-float t 0 4) Ward Council Meeting: 4th Sunday of the month.
