My wish is to be able to do mostly everything related to task-tracking, scheduling, working with references and so on. General GTD stuff. OpenPandora sounds neat, except it's not quite the standard tool available out there ;-) And a general idea of Emacs in your pocket is nice, except it's not really possible without a different UI than the keyboard. So; what way forward with GTD in Emacs Org-mode then, while still having the wish of it to be more accessible? Thus the idea of a more formal (and parsable) grammar in a standardized format. My hope is that it will make Org-mode more general than it already is. As I said already; Org-mode to me is more than Emacs. To think BIG, Org-mode grammar could be a standard for PIM or GTD related software. To think a bit less big, it might help developers create software with non-Emacs tools. By using the formal grammar to work with Org-mode source documents in more accessible ways. Maybe with UI's available through mobile phones or tablets (and without the use of special schedules of read/write in Emacs to keep the mobile system synced; MobileOrg). I have to admit I might be overstating the importance of Org-mode formal grammar with this goal in mind. I haven't used EBNF-parsers and don't really know how powerful they can be. Reading about those things give high hopes though. Best regards Gustav
