Tags should be whatever is useful. It can be a context, or resources you need, or locations, or anything else that is useful. I use arbitrary tags to match items with an external tracking system - and use the id of that system so I can match them easily. I also use :NOTE: for notes. It works for my needs just fine. Tags are not and should not be limited to context only. I also use tags for special todo states... if I cancel a task I give it a CANCELLED tag too ... so any subtask of the cancelled task is obviously cancelled and unavailable to work on. -Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
