I've just finished the collection step of getting started with GTD=20 and am working through my inbox for the first time. I've read the=20 discussions of Org and GTD with great interest. In particular,=20 the post by Carsten at=20 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/715 should be=20 required reading for anyone considering using Org for GTD-- really=20 excellent. Now that I'm actually getting down to brass tacks, I=20 find myself with a feature request. Previously, I've used Org to publish notes about a variety of=20 projects. Now that I'm using Org for GTD as well, I'm discovering=20 that I've got a few different kinds of files: - notes: I consider these a type of reference material in the GTD=20 system - projects: combinations of notes, next actions, links to support=20 materials, and deferred items - web pages: content created explicitly to be published with my=20 projects - other: mostly random stuff I want to keep on my local machine =20=20=20 Now, I intend to use one file per project for two reasons. First,=20 it provides nice structure when the files are published. I can=20 have research/projectA and research/projectB on my site, rather=20 than just one huge research.html page. Second, it seems useful to=20 maintain separate sets of tags for different projects. I'm=20 intending to follow Carsten's advice of using tags both for=20 contexts and people. I have different collaborators on different=20 research projects, so each file within the research directory may=20 different tags; personal projects might have tags for my=20 housemates or family. Given the above setup, I'd like to be able to define a few=20 different templates for org file headers. My notes files might=20 have different export options than my projects files, and tags=20 will differ from project to project. I can imagine creating a few=20 such templates: - research project templates (include a line for tags, no=20 pre-defined tags) - personal project templates (predefined tags for the people that=20 tend to be involved in my personal projects) - notes templates (turn on all LaTeX stuff, maybe change=20 #+TYP_TODO) - web page templates (include #+TITLE, maybe change archiving=20 system) I haven't yet investigated the templating options mentioned here=20 (though dmacro sounds like it's got potential). Still, I wonder=20 if a) the feature already exists, or b) other people would be=20 interested in seeing it included in a future version of Org.
