Hi list!

Information that has no potential next action associated but that still has
potential reference value and that you'd like to keep around, how and where
do you keep it ?

I usually check - if it is related to a project, I put it in this project's
wiki page (a simple .org ASCII file named after the project under ~/org/wiki
folder). If it's not, I try to find out if there's a wiki page that I could
fit it into, if not, I create a new file under the wiki folder.

I used to use tomboy, but I'm trying to move/center all my data to my org
folder. I still use Tomboy for quick notes (collection-phase) though, but
not for reference.

I then have a simple function that searches (rgrep) through the whole ~/org
folder, so that whenever I want to check if I have something about subject
x, I just rgrep my PIM folder.

;;a little elisp func to rgrep through all my org directory
(defun org-rgrep (REGEXP1) "Searches through all my org/PIM files"
(interactive "sSearch PIM for: ") (rgrep REGEXP1 "*.org" "/home/marcelo/org"
))
;;bind the previous function to windows_key + o
(global-set-key [?\s-o] 'org-rgrep)

Would you mind sharing how you do it?

Thanks,

Marcelo.
