org-notify Tutorial

[SW]

Is a tutorial/guide available for org-notify? Neither of the following were very
helpful:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-api/org-notify-api.html

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/52634/focus=52693

Thanks.

IIRC, at the time I just followed the steps in the embedded commentary
of org-notify.el itself. I don't know of any other documentation.

Hi,

I'm glad, that other people like this package!
Unfortunately I don't have enough time to write more documentation.
(so much *TODO* ... ;)

Nevertheless, I send you my own setup as an example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'org-notify)
(org-notify-add 'default '(:time "100m" :actions -notify/window
                           :period "2m" :duration 60))
(org-notify-add 'urgent-second '(:time "3m" :actions (-notify/window -ding)
                                 :period "15s" :duration 10))
(org-notify-add 'minute '(:time "5m" :actions -notify/window
                          :period "100s" :duration 70))
(org-notify-add '12hours
                '(:time "3m" :actions (-notify/window -ding)
                        :period "15s" :duration 10)
                '(:time "100m" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "2m" :duration 60)
                '(:time "12h" :actions -notify/window :audible nil
                        :period "10m" :duration 200))
(org-notify-add '5days
                '(:time "100m" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "2m" :duration 60)
                '(:time "2d" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "15m" :duration 100)
                '(:time "5d" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "2h" :duration 200))
(org-notify-add 'long-20days
                '(:time "2d" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "15m" :duration 60)
                '(:time "5d" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "2h" :duration 60)
                '(:time "20d" :actions -email :period "2d" :audible nil))
(org-notify-add 'long-50days
                '(:time "4d" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "30m" :duration 100)
                '(:time "10d" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "4h" :duration 200)
                '(:time "50d" :actions -email :period "3d" :audible nil))
(org-notify-add 'long-100days
                '(:time "2d" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "1h" :duration 200)
                '(:time "10d" :actions -notify/window
                        :period "10h" :duration 300)
                '(:time "50d" :actions -email :period "3d" :audible nil)
                '(:time "100d" :actions -email :period "5d" :audible nil)))
(org-notify-start 10)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* TODO Terrasse bauen
  DEADLINE: <2013-04-20 Sat 10:38>
  :PROPERTIES:
  :notify:   long-100days
  :END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
