I find that it suffers from the same problem that other such tools do. The problem is me. I can't remember week to week how I may have classified some scrap of information. Did I drop it into notes/someproduct.org or was it procedures/someprocess.org? While working through this, I've used #+INDEX: Topic!subtopic which helps but is not sufficiently granular. I'm thinking about approaches using properties or drawers. Has any of you done something like this, or done something similar that I've not considered? Thanks in advance, Your rapidly graying, Louis
