Hi,
I've been poking about trying to understand org-date tree, as It is
essentially an undocumented feature at the moment. am i right in my
understanding that it is only meant as a refile-target structure?
The feature request is to allow the use of ISO week numbers to
structure the year rather than Months.
so a structure something like:
* 2010
*** 2010-W35
***** 2010-08-30 Monday
***** 2010-08-31 Tuesday
***** 2010-09-01 Wednesday
***** 2010-09-02 Thursday
***** 2010-08-03 Friday
***** 2010-08-04 Saturday
***** 2010-08-05 Sunday
The week heading is based on the ISO representation,
(http://www.iso.org/iso/date_and_time_format) though i guess some
variant on the ISO week heading might look be better.
what other use can it be used for? how are other people using it?
regards,
Tim.

For me its one of the best features since I use org as a journal for
pretty much everything. My org-capture-templates entry for my journal
creation (also my org-protocol-default-template-key) is
("j" "Journal" entry
(file+datetree "journal.org")
"* %T %?\n %i\n %a")
So bottom line is, I use it for direct filing and not just a refile
target. A super feature. The %T meaning of course in my agenda I see the
date and time a journal item is added "in place" even if I then
reschedule it and refile it at a later date.

I have personally no love for ISO weeks, but I would accept a patch
which implements a second date tree structure that looks like this
Maybe the capture target could be called file_datetree-isoweek
or something like this...
