Samuel, Thanks for the info. I will have to digest this and see if it fits.
One concern I have with this approach (and I may not have fully grasped what you intended) is that the original source files have the current information like deadlines, etc that I want used when creating my agenda for the week. If I want more information about the agenda item I will navigate to it and hit <Return> which takes me to the generated Org file. Once there, I would like to be able to add notes as necessary. Alternatively, I suppose I could navigate to the notes if there is a simple mechanism for this. I don't really understand all you described below but I will try playing with it and see what comes out. Mark * Samuel Wales wrote (on 2/5/2009 2:40 PM):
IIUC, source is not under your complete control. You need it orgified but also annotated. There are various annotation mechanisms. My comments on the remember redesign might be relevant. You could consider going backward. Have your org file contain links to the read-only stuff. Put entry IDs in the read-only stuff. Dunno if this helps. Here is something I had lying around: Another feature is to have org-registry show on the mode line when a link points to the current buffer's object (w3m page, file, dired, etc.). You click on it to go to the org file link. See my remember suggestions in a previous thred for more re annotations, bookmarks, and registry. I proposed this before: === snip Extension #2 to the bookmark idea. My idea is to always have annotations available for emacs-w3m, dired, files, like org-annotate-file, just with more modes. You can see in the mode line that whatever buffer you are in has an annotation, and you can make an annotation. You can also go to the annotation. The annotations are stored in an org file anywhere in the hierarchy. Thus, if you want, annotations on a doctor's web site can be stored in the entry for that doctor that is in your org file. If you visit that web site from any source, even Google, the mode line says that it is annotated. Then you can pull up that entry with a command. Likewise with files or dired or whatever. For example, you can comment org.el or /etc/passwd without having to modify them. Remember code seems a plausible place to arrange for choosing a location and putting a note into it. Annotations are like bookmarks with text that also go the other direction. It's natural to combine the idea of a bookmark and the idea of an annotation. You might want the mode line to say "there is bookmark to this (web page, file, etc.)" as one character and "there is a text note about this" as another character. Thus, if you have annotated a file and the file is unmodified, you will see "-u:--!!" and if you have merely bookmarked the location without commenting on it, then you will see "-u:--!-". === snip
