I discovered an immediate irritant (only Emacspeak users will hit this)-- when you create the agenda view Emacs signals "Already at top " multiple times. This is not coming from org-mode, but from outline-up-heading --- which has the unfortunate habit of raising a signal that is caught elsewhere. Emacspeak notices this because it has to provide speec/auditory output on signal --- there are too many emacs packages that use signal to indicate user-visible error conditions, e.g. VM at end-of-folder. For now, I defined an around advice on outline-up-heading to silence the output in case of a signal, but I think it would be useful for org-mode to protect itself from calling outline-up-heading unnecessarily -- purely from a software hygene point of view. To observe the problem, try invoke org-agenda with debug-on-signal set to T-- alternatively, just look at the messages buffer. -- Best Regards, --raman Email: raman@users.sf.net WWW: http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/ AIM: emacspeak GTalk: tv.raman.tv@gmail.com PGP: http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/raman-almaden.asc Google: tv+raman IRC: irc://irc.freenode.net/#emacs
