I was trying to contribute while reducing typing to a minimum to
reduce pain, and ended up making it hard for you to read.  Apologies.

        remember ideas i've gathered over the past few months

        + respect pop-up-windows
        + if the target file for org-remember is already known
          use the control variables from that file
          that way you can have your todo sequence available
        + if org-remember does not recognize the type,
          abort completely
        + org-remember should be reentrant
          able to call itself from inside itself if you have a note
          you want to add that is not related to the one you are
          adding.
        + org-remember-templates takes a character
          can it take a function key?
        + emacs-w3m tight integration with org-mode
          - might be interesting to use an org-mode file to store
            bookmarks.  this would require changing the way
            bookmarks are added, to store them in a way similar to
            org-remember.
          - perhaps antenna can also be integrated with org-mode.

          [2008-09-20 Sat 18:26]
        + org merge org-annotate-file with remember code
          to allow annotating anything
          also have a hook for opening files and w3m pages etc. that
          will print in the minibuffer "this file/page/directory is
          annotated.  press ... to see the annotation".

          [2008-10-27 Mon 22:02] [Extensions in the contrib directory
- The Org Manual]
        + brainstorm: support asking for the template
          after the note was entered.

          this might complicate things too much.

          this is a tricky one to design, but the philosophy is that
          the time between having an idea and entering it should be
          minimal.  choosing the template type is a cognitive burden
          before you enter the idea.

          so dedicate a remember shortcut to the concept of "let me
          enter this now".  c-c c-c, it asks you details like is this
          a todo item?  and which file does it go to?

          you would have a remember template that allows for other
          remember templates to be chosen after you enter the note.

          ideally, it works like this:

            1.  call org-remember like that
            2.  enter note
            3.  c-c c-c
            4.  choose whether it's a note, journal, or shopping item
            5.  if it's note or journal, choose whether it's todo
            6.  if it's note or journal, choose tags (RET for none)
            7.  show completed buffer
            8.  y to accept; n to edit

          nested plists?
