Hi,<br><br><br>I&#39;m quite new to org-mode but am very excited about handling a lot of my current notes/task issues. My current/previous setup:<br><br>- I use a modified TiddlyWIki and create daily journal entries like this:<br>
--- Create tiddler (page) with the title being the day&#39;s date<br>--- Using the PartTiddlerPlugin, I surround notes for each unique project with &lt;part projectName&gt;notes about project &lt;/part&gt;<br>--- I have separate pages for each project where I can extract the notes in between the respective tags using some TiddlyWiki scripts such that I look for all journals tagged with projectX, print the title of that journal (the date), and then print under it the notes between the &lt;part&gt; tags<br>
--- In this way, I have both a chronological set of journal entries as well as a running chronological set of entries for any specific project<br><br>- I was using features from Phil Hawksworth&#39;s Team Tasks (<a href="http://getteamtasks.com/">http://getteamtasks.com/</a>) TiddlyWiki features, but didn&#39;t really like that... so recently I have been using Tracks (<a href="http://www.getontracks.org/">http://www.getontracks.org/</a>), a ruby on rails app.<br>
--- The TiddlyWIki was just clumsy with respect to tracking the tasks. The ability to link to a &#39;task&#39; (which was really just a tiddly page) was great, but the viewing was horrible...<br>--- Tracks has been pretty good, but I have to have my desktop running the server so that I can log in from my laptop when I&#39;m away at a meeting. Since I can&#39;t seem to make it work with my database stored on my company network share, I&#39;m out of luck for keeping a central database for when my desktop is down... also, when I need to reboot into Win (I usually am running linux) for CAD work, my task server is offline which is never good.<br>
<br>So, enough rambling. I love the idea of org-mode to handle both aspects in one place as well as all the other magic it can do (keep in mind I&#39;m just learning emacs as well!). Here&#39;s the questions:<br>- What solution/file structure would be recommended for the above?<br>
--- Namely, I like the idea of daily journal entries so that I work in one file per day (<a href="http://date.org">date.org</a>) vs. many (<a href="http://proj1.org">proj1.org</a>, proj2.org...). Is this not the &#39;org-way&#39; (is it easier to keep a file per project)?<br>
--- Can I make something (a headline and the notes below it) a &#39;double-entry&#39; item? In other words, if I keep the file MainProject.org and tag a bunch of headlines in my journals with MainProject, can I get those items to also appear in MainProject.org without having to add them in both places?<br>
<br>- Are there any other suggestions for how to do something like this? I&#39;m new and open to other better ways. I saw Carsten&#39;s presentation (not the Google Tech talk one) and am somewhat against the idea of a huge, long file. I guess if you can collapse it enough it&#39;s fine... but it just doesn&#39;t feel right. I love my current method of just keeping a journal entry per day and letting my TiddlyWiki code automatically update the project pages accordingly. Starting with a way to replicate that functionality as well as adding in the todos all in one place would hook me on org-mode for sure.<br>
<br><br>Best regards,<br>John<br><br>P.S. I was not sure what to search for in order to find out if there was an implementation for this. I read under the manual about linking and did some various searches regarding &#39;wiki-like&#39; behavior for org-mode (as this felt like what I&#39;m perhaps trying to do), but nothing really seemed to apply to this; mainly, nothing about having two &#39;snippets&#39; mutually update one another.<br>
