Holiday:Shemini Atzeret
Diary: Shemini Atzeret
The strange thing here is the Holiday: line.
AFAIK, all diary entries that Org adds fall in the Diary category.
Please tell us about the solution when you find it!
Don't know about the Holiday line. I think that was the OPs
problem. My issue is that I want to see the diary entries in my agenda
without the holidays (such as e.g. Shemini Atzeret). As I found out
setting {christian|hebrew|islamic|etc}-holidays to nil doesn't help.
Some more digging in org.el, calendar.el and holidays.el revealed that
you can either disable the display of holidays altogether in your
agenda or only show specific holidays. For the former set
holidays-in-diary-buffer to nil and for the latter customize
calendar-holidays.

Thanks :-) Can you send a PDF example of the output? I'll try to set up a page on the emacswiki tonight where I can upload the code and a couple of PDF examples. I tried your Makefile but could not get any output (yet). I think it's mainly because I don't have any of pdfnup/pdfjoin/pdf90 - where does it come from? On what system? You need to install pdfjam. Most distros have it. Otherwise get it from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/staff/academic/firth/software/pdfjam. Maybe a bit more of explanation on how to use this Makefile would also be useful. You basically just type make :-). This will produce two pdfs: pocketMod.pdf and hipsterPDA.pdf. pocketMod.pdf can be folded and cut according to the instructions on pocketmod.com. In my experience it is much to small to be usefull. More tweaking (e.g. with the fonts is needed). hipsterPDA.pdf gives you two pages that you can cut in four sheets each. This will give you eight sheets of size A6 (105mm x 148mm), which can then be clipped together in the style of the hipster pda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_PDA).

About font size, I've found that for what we're trying to do, it helps to replace \tiny with \small globally. I'll see what I can do without actually patching the code in cal-tex.el. Also, a little gotcha I've found, which may catch some of us org-mode GTD-ers: cal-tex.el does not check for the @ symbol when inputting from the diary, and thus does not escape it, leading to latex-errors on processing. I've run into that problem also and avoided it by rewriting the one diary entry that caused the problem :-). Yes, this problem should be reported on emacs-devel. There is even some code in cal-tex that seems to deal with this problem, but it is commented out for whatever reason.

How do you get your deadlines to show up in your calendar? %%(org-diary :scheduled :timestamp :deadline) in my ~/.diary file. Ah, now I understand. That is also the reason why your calendar looks so crowded. So far I've only used it to show the entries from my diary file. My idea was to replace the year calendar with some export of the agenda view, maybe of the next 14 days. So you'd have an overview of your appointments (and only your appointments) for the next 4 weeks and the next 3 months and finally an overview of all the tasks for the next 14 days. Now what would be really nice is if I could export the agenda view to latex. I couldn't find any code in org-export-latex.el to do that. Am I missing something, Bastien? I looked at cal-tex.el some more and it looks like it could use some love :-). The font sizes for the ISO-style weekly calendar for example is hard coded to 11pt and the diary entries are hardcoded to be shown with \large\bf. Love for sell in orgmode list :) Well, while it would be worthwile to do some enhancements to cal-tex.el (some TODOs are mentioned in the Commentary section), there is an easier way to massage the produced LaTeX code. As mentioned on the emacswiki (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/CalendarPrinting) you can add a hook to cal-tex-hook which can quote the @ or change the fonts for example. In essence this is the same as Pete's sed hack in the Makefile, just a tad more integrated in Emacs. If this really makes such a great difference in terms of a batch job I don't know.

Attached is an updated version of org2pocketMod. As before you need to
have the pdfjam tools installed. Also you might want to add (setq
cal-tex-diary t) to your .emacs, so diary entries actually show up in
your printout.
The Makefile now does some changes on the LaTeX produced by
cal-tex. This will quote @, and change some of the font sizes.

[Orgmode] Re: Multi-line Diary Entry
Hi Wanrong Lin wanrong.lin at gmail.com writes: It seems there is a bug in dealing with multi-line diary entries in org-agenda. For example, I have a diary entry like this: %%(diary-cyclic 1 11 7 2007) 5:25pm End of Day: - Review tomorrow's task. - Check tomorrow's schedule in Outlook - Check weather forecast When diary entry is included in org agenda, the sub-lines are separated from the main line, something like this: Thursday 8 November 2007 Diary: 17:25.. End of Day: WorkEnv:Scheduled: TODO Fill in timesheet Diary: - Review tomorrow's task. Diary: - Check tomorrow's schedule in Outlook Diary: - Check weather forecast The function org-get-entries-from-diary just does a (org-split-string entries \n) on the contents it gets from the fancy calendar display. So of course you'll get them as separate entries and then sorted (probably according to category). I presume you'd like the lines to stay together? As a workaround you could just put three separate tasks in your diary i.e. %%(diary-cyclic 1 11 7 2007) 5:25pm Review tomorrow's task) %%(diary-cyclic 1 11 7 2007) 5:25pm Check tomorrow's schedule in Outlook) %%(diary-cyclic 1 11 7 2007) 5:25pm Check weather forecast) HTH Christian ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] How to write an exporter
Hi I've been wanting to have an exporter for latex beamer and for mediawiki. I thought that might be a nice summer project. How do I write it? Do I use - the new mapping API - or the new exporter engine from Bastien which is buried away somewhere on a branch in git? I guess the mapping API is included in org-mode proper but only gives me access to the headlines AFAIK. What is the status of the exporter engine from Bastien? Is it ever going to be resurrected?

I don't quite understand why we need to port anything. The taskjuggler exporter is different than the other exporters in that it doesn't really export the content of an org file. Instead it just goes through the headlines (using the mapping API), takes some to be tasks and reads the properties of these headlines to build the taskjuggler file. It pretty much ignores any text that is between the headlines (see also the commentary in org-taskjuggler.el). In essence it treats the org file as a tree of nodes with properties that define the tasks, resources and reports. It doesn't use any of the common (old) exporting infrastructure. So woudn't a ported org-taskjuggler.el look exactly like to one that we have today?

The TaskJugglerUI exists only if you have taskjuggler2.4 installed. The exporter predates tj3 and naively assumes that there is a TaskJugglerUI executable. It should really invoke a browser on the resulting HTML report[1] when you call export-and-open, at least when you are targeting tj3. The worst part is that it doesn't even tell the user that something failed, as it invokes the executable asynchronously using start-process-shell-command (info: (elisp) Asynchronous Processes). That way you can continue to work with emacs but emacs doesn't know what happened to the subprocess. I'll have to do some more research on how to start a process in the background and still check if it succeeded.

It is meant for people comfortable with org-mode that like to work within org-mode. However not all concepts in org-mode for example have a corresponding concept in taskjuggler and vice versa. The exporter tries to bridge this mismatch in some cases and ignores others. So, what I'm saying is that if you want the full power of taskjuggler then by all means go for it (i.e. hack your stuff in it directly). If you want the convenience of org-mode then stay with it and try to organize the project within org-mode. IMHO using org-mode lessens the need to structure the projects into sub-files as org-mode is less verbose and inherently more structured. If you still would like to split you project some more I'd try to do something using (tj) include statements, e.g. defining them as your default reports. Hope that helps.

[Orgmode] [ANN] Exporter for taskjuggler
Hi all In theory we're developing according to agile methods here, but in practice people still want to see the classic waterfall project plan. So in order to create a professional looking gant and resource usage charts I implemented an exporter from org-mode to TaskJuggler (http://www.taskjuggler.org/). The code is attached and I'm looking for feedback and would love to get this integrated in the org-mode distribution. TaskJuggler uses a text format to define projects, tasks and resources, so it is a natural fit for org-mode. It can produce all sorts of reports for tasks or resources in either HTML, CSV or PDF. The current version of TaskJuggler requires KDE but the next version is implemented in Ruby and should therefore run on any platform. The exporter is a bit different from other exporters, such as the HTML and LaTeX exporters for example, in that it does not export all the nodes of a document or strictly follow the order of the nodes in the document. Instead the TaskJuggler exporter looks for a tree that defines the tasks and a optionally tree that defines the resources for this project. It then creates a TaskJuggler file based on these trees and the attributes defined in all the nodes. * Installation Put the attached file into your load-path and the following line into your ~/.emacs: (require 'org-taskjuggler) The interactive functions are similar to those of the HTML and LaTeX exporters: M-x `org-export-as-taskjuggler' M-x `org-export-as-taskjuggler-and-open' * Tasks Let's illustrate the usage with a small example. Create your tasks as you usually do with org-mode. Assign efforts to each task using properties (it's easiest to do this in the column view). You should end up with something similar to the example by Peter Jones in http://www.contextualdevelopment.com/static/artifacts/articles/2008/project-planning/project-planning.org. Now mark the top node of your tasks with a tag named taskjuggler_project (or whatever you customized `org-export-taskjuggler-project-tag' to). You are now ready to export the project plan with `org-export-as-taskjuggler-and-open' which will export the project plan and open a gant chart in TaskJugglerUI. * Resources Next you can define resources and assign those to work on specific tasks. You can group your resources hierarchically. Tag the top node of the resources with taskjuggler_resource (or whatever you customized `org-export-taskjuggler-resource-tag' to). You can optionally assign an ID to the resources (using the standard org properties commands) or you can let the exporter generate IDs automatically (the exporter picks the first word of the headline as the ID as long as it is unique). Using that ID you can then allocate resources to tasks. This is again done with the allocate property on the tasks. Do this in column view or when on the task type C-c C-x p allocate RET ID RET Once the allocations are done you can again export to TaskJuggler and check in the Resource Allocation Graph which person is working on what task at what time. * Export of properties The exporter also takes TODO state information into consideration, i.e. if a task is marked as done it will have the corresponding attribute in TaskJuggler (complete 100). Also it will export any property on a task resource or resource node which is known to TaskJuggler, such as limits, vacation, shift, booking, efficiency, journalentry, rate for resources or account, start, note, duration, end, journalentry, milestone, reference, responsible, scheduling, etc for tasks. * Dependencies The exporter will handle dependencies that are defined in the tasks either with the ORDERED attribute (see TODO dependencies in the Org mode manual) or with the BLOCKER attribute (see org-depend.el) or alternatively with a depends attribute. Both the BLOCKER and the depends attribute can be either previous-sibling or a reference to an ID which is defined for another task in the project.

Otherwise I can see if I can anonymize the project I'm working on.
How difficult would it be to add gap duration to the export?
Ah, didn't think of that. Good question. Right now dependencies are
generated on export based on either ORDERED, BLOCKER or depends

:PROPERTIES:

:BLOCKER: posting_controller { gapduration 5d }
:END:
the part enclosed inside {} should not be interpreted as an additional
dependency but instead as a gap duration specification. Should be
doable. I'll add it to the list.

Very interesting idea. It might even be possible to integrate org-mode with something like this html simple kanban board: http://www.simple-kanban.com/ I could envision a simple solution where you export your tasks via an dynamic block and insert that into the text area of the simple kanban board. But that is a one way solution and fails if people start dragging the tasks around. How does this information get back into the org file? Maybe something simpler that is not editable as a view of the tasks and their state, i.e. a simple static html kanban board. This could be done again with some hacking based on a dynamic block and exporting this as csv or you could hack up some elisp creating the html based on the mapping API[1]. Also how might Emacs org-mode be able to render a kanban board view? Would it be possible to use something like the agenda to do this and shuffle the tasks about?

I'm working on an introduction on worg. Hopefully I'll have something by the end of this week including an example org file. I encountered problems with the fact that - I was using `org-odd-levels-only' Oh, OK, I'm not using this, so there might be issues there. - the allocate property name is required to be lower case (unlike Effort) That's a general problem. The exporter needs to map between org and tj terminology. In most cases this is not a problem as the terminology comes from tj, e.g. 'limits', 'vacation' or also 'allocate'. Here I assume that the property in org mode is named the same and capitalized the same as in tj. I guess this should be stated in the documentation. In other cases where the exporter needs to map between org and tj, e.g. for effort, but also for completeness or dependency information, the exporter is more forgiving. Specifically in the case of Effort it does the downcase as Effort is an established property on org. For completeness information it maps the TODO state (whether it is done or not). And dependencies are taken from the BLOCKER attribute (which is also semi-established). I don't know if this is a good solution. I just tried to stick to the tj property names as close as possible and only allow different names if those concepts and names are established in org mode under a different terminology. Hope that clears things up a bit. - A Resource named with Uppercase letters will be expected to be all lowercase by TJ (e.g. my Alf resource below). Well resource names in tj have to conform to [A–Za–z0–9_], so what I did in the exporter is look for an ID attribute in the resource or silently generate an id from the resource headline. So if do not specify an ID your resource Alf will be converted (and made unique) in `org-taskjuggler-get-unique-id'. I guess this is a bit behind the users back and also needs better documentation. In your case the resource will be downcased to 'alf'. I have resources like Domain Expert, which will be converted to domain_expert. That's why I usually add an ID property to resources so I can easily allocate them. I've put patches corresponding to the hacks I made to solve these below. Thanks for the patches. More comments below. I have an updated version locally which also supports optional depends attributes like gapduration and gaplength (which were requested by T Helms on the list). I hope to publish this on a branch in the repo. It would also be nice if repeated invocation of org-export-as-taskjuggler-and-open on the same project didn't spawn multiple TJ instances (TJ v2.4.3 ubuntu). Hm, yes. Good idea. Do you have an idea how this could be done easily in elisp? I had a quick look at the TJ page -- it sounded as if the cross-platform ruby version is advancing rapidly? Yes, I didn't even realize that a new version has come out as I'm still using the old C++ Unix-only version. Make it work if `org-odd-levels-only' is in use: diff --git a/org-taskjuggler.el b/org-taskjuggler.el index e887d33..e843dcd 100644 --- a/org-taskjuggler.el +++ b/org-taskjuggler.el @@ -309,7 +309,7 @@ the current node such as the headline, the level, todo state information, all the properties, etc. (let* ((props (org-entry-properties)) (components (org-heading-components)) - (level (car components)) + (level (nth 1 components)) (headline (nth 4 components)) (parent-ordered (org-taskjuggler-parent-is-ordered-p))) (push (cons level level) props) Oh, OK, good catch. Does this also work if `org-odd-levels-only' is not in use? Allow variations in capitalisation of allocate property name (or maybe the documentation should just point out that it must be lowercase) I'd rather have the capitalisation as closely to the tj terminology as explained above. I'd prefer to update the documentation here. Always output resource names lower case I guess this is also a documentation issue. If you know how resources will be named (either with an ID or with `org-taskjuggler-get-unique-id') then it should be more clear how to do the allocations. More comprehensible error message if you forget to define a project... Yes, of course. I had fixed that one already locally. So, thanks again for the feedback.

It pretty much just exports the properties you define in your nodes. It also does some magic with regards to dependecy and resource export, but these have not changed in tj3. While I haven't tested it with tj3 the export from an org file should also work for tj3. You might have to tweak the reports some, but this can be done with the customize interface.

[Orgmode] Re: A request: Moving away from ChangeLog
Hi all John Wiegley jwieg...@gmail.com writes: The Emacs ChangeLog is a file which predates the existence of freely available, project-wide version control. It was a way to see, in one place, the stream of changes occurring in a project -- something which RCS could not do for you. The only problem is that we need to have a Changelog for upstream, i.e. Emacs. However, in this modern era of project-wide, atomic commits, the ChangeLog is not only an archaism, but is a continuous source of merge conflicts. For example, when I reverted Russell's latest change -- a one-liner that was minor in the extreme -- I had to do with a merge conflict in lisp/ChangeLog. If the real problem you're trying to solve is the merge conflicts you get with the Changelog files then the solution might be Bruno Haible’s git merge driver for GNU-style ChangeLog files[1] (available in gnulib[2]). Automatic generation of the Changelog file sounds like a fine solution and I'm all for it, but when it comes down to the actual requirements of the Changelog (such as file and especially function names) things don't look that rosy anymore (doesn't work outside of Emacs, can no longer use M-x add-change-log-entry, etc). So before pouring out the baby with the bathwater maybe we should at least try if the git merge driver solves the main problem we have with the Changelog files.

Yes, the CSS behind asciidoc is neat.

Trial and error will be very useful for suggested CSS.
Actually, come to think of it: I had totally forgotten that I once took
the css from org
(http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode.git/blob/HEAD:/ORGWEBPAGE/org.css) and
added some asciidoc styling to it. An example output can be seen at
http://www.daisyproducer.org/. It is in a works for me state, I think
I probably hard coded some assumptions I had on my side.
The css is attached.
If there is demand I could merge it with the original org.css or create

[Orgmode] Re: LaTeX calendar from org-mode agenda?
Alan E. Davis lngn...@gmail.com writes: It seems possible that at least one of the LaTeX / org gurus on this list has used LaTeX monthly calendars. I have had some problems with LaTeX calendars, but they look really nice, and it would seem not unlikely to use that format as an output from Org-agenda. Well, I haven't used it in a while, but there is code[1] in the contrib section that generates hipster pda style calendars[2] for you. Admittedly it just uses the cal-tex-* infrastructure, so if you have problems with that, I guess this is of little help. I found LaTeX monthly calendars pretty ridiculous when they are bloated with dozens of repeated tasks from the diary file. A well sorted list of events would seem to me to suite this nice-looking hard copy calendar nicely. Maybe you should define what your requirements are, i.e. how exactly you want your calendar to look. Then as a next step you might want to try to get a mock-up using tikz (and its calendar library)[3]. Once you have that I'd be happy to hack up some lisp that generates the tikz latex from say an Org Mode Agenda view or from a diary file. The ability to print out a nice, concise hardcopy checklist from org-agenda would make a world of difference. OK, this seems like another requirement unrelated to the calendar above. You know that you can export an agenda view to PDF, html or text[4]. If that is not enough, again, create a mock-up using tikz to make it really nice looking. I will then help you to write the lisp to generate the needed latex. I've long wanted some nice looking export of the agenda. Your input might just give me enough impetus to hack something up.

Markus Heller helle...@gmail.com writes: Hello Christian, I'm very interested in using your taskjuggler export from orgmode. Unfortunately, I'm on a Windoze box, and getting TJ2 to work is a big pain ... However, TJ3 is fairly straightforward, since it's Ruby, so I'm wondering, do you have any plans of including support for TJ3 as well? I know it's still in alpha, but just asking :) I myself use tj2, so the exporter is tested for that. Initially I had thought that the exporter was also working for tj3 since the differences in the syntax are supposedly very minor. But I've had reports by users that the exporter generates code that doesn't work with tj3. I just installed tj3 and tested it with a generated tjp file. There are a number of problems: you need to replace all occurrences of purge allocations with purge allocate. Also you seem to be required to mark all milestones explicitly (with milestone). Thirdly you need to change the report definitions. - The issue with purge allocate needs to be changed in the exporter code. For now you will have to search and replace as mentioned above. - The milestone issue can be dealt with by assigning the milestone property to an item. It would be nicer if this just worked if an item doesn't have an effort property. - The problems with reports can be solved by changing the report definition (via customize) I'll have to work with the taskjuggler list to see if and what we can do about these issues, if we can somehow ease the migration.

Eric S Fraga ucec...@ucl.ac.uk writes: However, org-taskjuggler seems to use the global value regardless. Hm, org-taskjuggler doesn't do anything magic here. It just takes the value of org-export-taskjuggler-default-project-duration. Is there something I need to do to get it to pay attention to my file local variable value? A pointer to a relevant section in the emacs lisp manual would suffice I just looked at the help string for defcustom (C-h f defcustom) where it says: If symbol has a local binding, then this form affects the local binding. This is normally not what you want. Thus, if you need to load a file defining variables with this form, or with `defvar' or `defconst', you should always load that file _outside_ any bindings for these variables. (`defvar' and `defconst' behave similarly in this respect.) So if I understand this correctly it appears that defcustom is overwriting your file variable. I don't understand however how you could make your file variable work. Maybe the variable org-export-taskjuggler-default-project-duration needs to be buffer-local. How does this interact with defcustom?

Hi Anthony Anthony Lander anthonylan...@yahoo.com writes: Please find attached a somewhat improved version of your TJ2 exporter, a drop-in replacement that exports to TJ3, and also a sample .org file. This is all exciting stuff. It's a little hard to digest (many changes rolled into one, white space formatting changes that make it hard to find the real change, common lisp idioms which I'm not familiar with). Let me get back to you with some questions and then we can discuss how to most easily merge the stuff. - Why did you compute the leafiness? I seem to have experienced that tj3 has a problem with zero effort tasks that aren't marked as milestones. Is that the reason? - Why do you add a duration of 1d if the task has neither a duration, an end, a period nor an effort? Shouldn't that be a milestone instead? - I see that there is a need to annotate a project with stuff such as scenarios, etc and I was missing a way to have file specific reports or other globals. Your additional tags solve that problem. However I'm a bit reluctant to add more magic tags that mark the trees in some way. I was hoping to find a more general way for this problem. So far I haven't found a good solution though. - I like the idea of the TJ drawer, but in the end you just seem to use it for the project node and the globals node. So in essence they are taskjuggler source code blocks (in disguise) which are tied to a particular node. In fact they are not even really tied to a particular node, especially in the case of the globals. This goes back to the previous question about a good way to add file specific globals. Maybe some kind taskjuggler specific export option is really what we are looking for. As an aside, I think it's better to post the source code to the list. There might be other people interested in it and pitching in with opinions and improvements.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: TaskJuggler 3, revisited
Hi Anthony Anthony Lander anthonylan...@yahoo.com writes: Is the unfamiliar idiom the backtick list with the ,variables in it, by chance? No it was more stuff like `return' and `return-from'. Ah, sorry. This I should have documented. The problem is that TJ3 fails to compile the file if there is a leaf node with no computable end date. TJ2 happily ignored the situation, but TJ3 throws an error. OK, I understand. I managed to slowly integrate (some of) your changes. It should now generate milestones for nodes that cannot be scheduled and are leaf nodes. So basically it should export valid code for tj3 if you set org-export-taskjuggler-target-version to 3.0. Of course the report definitions in the defcustom org-export-taskjuggler-default-reports are not compatible with tj3 so you will need to change these. I have (or I guess rather had) some fondness for recursive functions, so I re-implemented your leafiness function recursively. However I ran into problems with max-lisp-eval-depth and it appears that recursion is not encouraged in Emacs lisp (http://www.gnu.org/s/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Compilation-Tips.html#Compilation-Tips). So I guess it's back to iterative style. In any event, the TJ drawer is my attempt at a catch-all solution. It at least allows a user to use missing features without waiting for a development change. So for example, I personally will never use the accounting stuff, and would not be very motivated to add it to the exporter, but if someone needed it, they could put the required code in the TJ drawer, and they could still use the TJ exporter for their project instead of having to abandon org-mode entirely for one missing feature. I like the drawer stuff and will integrate it. Interesting thought. I very much like the idea that you can do other things with your org-file than export it to taskjuggler. For example, keep actual notes in the file, and export it to other formats like html or LaTeX, for purposes other than project planning. Absolutely, I agree. Being able to say no, this is not a task in the task tree would be very useful. I don't know how to do it nicely either (yet). Hm, no this is not possible right now. Why would you want to do this? Maybe we could just mark it as a comment and make the exporter honor comments. How about if we set up a git repository on github with the files, and then post the link on the mailing list? I set up a repo and pushed my changes to the code there (http://github.com/egli/org-mode). I think we should put your email, and this reply to the list as well. Yes, I almost forgot.

In theory we would probably need another key binding to just compile the tjp file. This is similar to the LaTeX exporter where you can (1) just export, (2) process the exported LaTeX and (3) open the resulting PDF.

are:
org-taskjuggler-target-version: 3.5
org-taskjuggler-default-reports: include reports.tji (custom report

org:
org-taskjuggler-proces-command: tj3 --silent --no-color --output-dir %o %f
org-taskjuggler-reports-directory: reports
Your analysis is correct. The pertinent vars are mostly
org-taskjuggler-reports-directory, org-taskjuggler-proces-command and to
some extent org-taskjuggler-target-version. And as you see the exporter
just delegates to tj3 to put the reports in a specific directory by
using --output-dir. This should work.

Oh, and btw: there can be more than one journalentry. So, given this

Org mode for meeting minutes
Hi all I'd like to revisit a very old thread[1] where Adam Spiers asks if there is support in Org mode for 1. Allow *fast* production of meeting agendas and minutes, exportable in a good-looking legible format which non-org readers can digest. 2. Allow minutes to be taken as the meeting progresses, minimising the amount of work required after the meeting. 3. Allow actions to be captured and then automatically extracted into a simple tabulated report which clearly shows actions grouped by owner. 4. Track progress of actions *after* the minutes have been issued. He goes on to say that org mode handles (1) and (2) just fine, but he wasn't sure about (3) and (4). His mail is from 2008 and a lot has happened in the mean time. I would suggest that today (1) and (2) can be handled with normal org export or even pandoc. Inline tasks[2] help a lot to add, well inline tasks. For (3) and (4) he mentions a dynamic block that could collect all action items. I never found that dynamic block he mentions, so I hacked one up (which was suprisingly easy). I haven't packaged it but the gist of it is below: ``` elisp (require 'org) (require 'dash) (defun org-actionitems-extract-entry () (-let* ((entries (org-entry-properties)) (( "ITEM" "TODO" "DEADLINE") entries)) (list ITEM TODO DEADLINE))) (defun org-dblock-write:actionitems (params) (let ((match (or (plist-get params :match) "/+TODO"))) (insert-before-markers "| What | Who | When |\n") (insert-before-markers "|-\n") (let* ((tasks (org-map-entries 'org-actionitems-extract-entry match)) (rows (-map (lambda (task) (->> task (-map (lambda (item) (or item ""))) (apply 'format "| %s | %s | %s |"))) tasks)) (table (string-join rows "\n"))) (insert-before-markers table)) (org-table-align))) ``` The idea is that you use type todos using the people involved at the meeting. Below is an example how this could look: ``` org #+title: Meeting minutes #+TYP_TODO: Fred Sara Lucy Mike | DONE ** Present at meeting - [X] Fred - [X] Sara - [X] Lucy ** Agenda - Reports from the sub teams - Discussion ** Notes *** Reports from the sub teams - The order has arrived *** Fred Check if the order is complete DEADLINE: <2019-11-04 Mo> *** END - The next talk is scheduled *** Mike Organize a speaker DEADLINE: <2019-11-12 Di> *** END * Actions #+BEGIN: actionitems :match "/Fred|Sara|Lucy|Mike" | What | Who | When| |+--+-| | Check if the order is complete | Fred | <2019-11-04 Mo> | | Organize a speaker | Mike | <2019-11-12 Di> | #+END: ``` Before I go on with this I'd like to know 1. Is the worg page[3] the state of the art in taking meeting minutes with org mode? 2. Is it worth packaging this code snippet or should I try to submit it to org mode proper? Any thoughts on this or other ideas very welcome!

I think you are probably right. When taking notes quickly your approach
without having to fidget with Tasks is probably faster. I just did not
want to stray too far off plain org-mode notation.

Well, it might look weird, but I think the idea is good. TBH, I'm not
sure if there is another (programatic) way to derive from an existing
exporter.

Ah, yes, this makes it much clearer. I really like this.

I understand. Now that I think of it it might be better to package the
LaTeX commands into a package on CTAN. I looked at the various LaTeX
minutes packages and so far yours seems almost the nicest.

Re: Org mode for meeting minutes
Hi all I'm picking up this thread again since I think I have solved the issue for myself. I do use org-mode for meeting minutes now. Thanks to the input from this list I managed to solve the outstanding issues such as tabular reports of action items. I wrote a blog post summarizing my findings which you can find here https://egli.dev/posts/using-org-mode-for-meeting-minutes/ Hope that helps Christian "Fraga, Eric" writes: > On Thursday, 31 Oct 2019 at 15:03, Christian Egli wrote: >> His mail is from 2008 and a lot has happened in the mean time. > > Although a lot has happened in the meantime, I've not seen anything pass > by which addresses minutes of meetings and tracking actions.

I can see that you are very efficient with this. I think my solution is more using the standard org-mode infrastructure, I don't define any export for example. > You can have a look at the style and code here: > > https://github.com/timmli/org-minutes-dev If I understand correctly you are defining some kind of extra list markup (is something a task or a decision, etc) and the you wrote a custom exporter that produces fancy LaTeX for the minutes (well, if I understand correctly it really is a custom exporter that generates org-mode and then LaTeX from there). I don't quite understand how the LaTeX works. Is this some kind of two column layout or do you keep the action item markers and the assignees in the margin? Can you post the produced LaTeX? > Any feedback is greatly appreciated. But keep in mind that the code is > not polished at all -- this is a hobby project of an elisp dilettante. It would be good to package this. The code would get more usage and you'd get more feedback.
