Hi,
I'm helping to edit a large document with section contributions from
many people. Any given section may come in some bizarre format (ie,
.doc) which I convert to LaTeX, leave open a time for subsequent edits
and finally freeze the section.
I'd like to track this state using org-mode.
So far I've been using a nested checklist like:
* Document Sections [0/4]
- [-] Chapter 1 [0/3]
- [ ] section 1 (person A)
- [ ] section 2 (person B)
- [ ] section 2 (person C)
- [-] Chapter 2 [1/1]
- [X] section 1 (Person D)
This is okay for binary state, but is there any to have more states
represented and get a summary of the percent of each chapter/section in
that state?
For example, I'd like something like:
* Document Sections (received:[1/4] converted:[1/4] frozen:[1/4] missing [1/4])
- [-] Chapter 1 (received:[2/3] converted:[1/3] frozen:[0/3] missing [1/3])
- [ ] section 1 (person A)
- [R] section 2 (person B)
- [C] section 2 (person C)
- [-] Chapter 2 (received:[1/1] converted:[1/1] frozen:[1/1] missing [0/1])
- [F] section 1 (Person D)
Is there anything which gets me in this direction?
Thanks,
-Brett.

Check boxes have only three state: empty, checked, undecided.
If you need more states, I suggest using a property.
Then the column view can be used to display a summary
of the "sum" of all properties in the subtree.

Thanks for the pointer, Bastien. This looks like a fine way to do
things.
I've been able to "capture" the columnview into another .org file and
then export that to an HTML file. Is there a way to automate these
three steps?
Notes on what I did so far follow.
In a "notes.org":
* Document status
:PROPERTIES:
:COLUMNS: %25ITEM(Section) %25Responsible %3Received{X} %3Converted{X} %3Editing{X} %3Frozen{X}
:Responsible_ALL: Person1 Person2 Person3
:Received_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:Converted_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:Editing_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:Frozen_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:ID: document-status
:END:
** Section 1
*** Subsection 1.1
:PROPERTIES:
:Responsible: Person1
:Received: [X]
:Converted: [ ]
:END:
Etc for other sections. Hints:
- only need to add properties in sub (or subsub, etc) sections where
they are strictly needed. Parents inherit from children
- don't actually edit :PROPERTIES: by hand instead do C-c C-x C-c to
turn on columns and "e" in a cell to edit it with values from the
list of possible ones in the *_ALL and/or do C-c C-c to toggle values
I shall look into adding numerical values to get %-done type columns.
Then for presentation. As per
http://orgmode.org/manual/Capturing-column-view.html
To make presentation with just this tree of info make another file
"status.org" with:
* Status
#+BEGIN: columnview :vlines t :hlines 1 :id "document-status"
#+END:
Go to "BEGIN" and hit C-c C-c and a table will be inserted. Then a
normal export to HTML can be done.
