I've submitted a feature today which provide contextual auto-exclusion
for tags in the Agenda view. For example, I use the following tags
for TODOs:
Net Needs internet access
Call Needs a phone
Errand Done in town
Home Done at home
Now, it's quite easy for my computer to figure out which of these are
possible, based on my location:
Net Can I ping mail.gnu.org?
Call Am I outside of normal calling hours?
Errand Am I outside of business hours?
Home Does my IP address begin with 192.168.9?
With the patch I've submitted, I can now define this function to auto-
exclude based on this type of context information:
(defun org-my-auto-exclude-function (tag)
(and (cond
((string= tag "Net")
(/= 0 (call-process "/sbin/ping" nil nil nil
"-c1" "-q" "-t1" "mail.gnu.org")))
((string= tag "Home")
(with-temp-buffer
(call-process "/sbin/ifconfig" nil t nil "en0" "inet")
(goto-char (point-min))
(not (re-search-forward "inet 192\\.168\\.9\\." nil t))))
((or (string= tag "Errand") (string= tag "Call"))
(let ((hour (nth 2 (decode-time))))
(or (< hour 8) (> hour 21)))))
(concat "-" tag)))
All I have to do is type `/ RET' in the agenda view now, and it
excludes based on my machine's current temporal and physical context.
This feature will be described in the manual under the section
"Commands in the agenda buffer".

Hi!
I'm just trying to use this feature and I noticed, that it apparently
only works if org-tag-alist is explicitly set to a non-nil value.
I use dynamic tags (lots of them) and I wonder if it would be possible
to use those for auto-exclusion.
At least Org can do completion of dynamic tags, so there is probably
some function to get a list of the tags (or maybe just those in the
current agenda).

Hm.
It just occured to me that it might be sufficient (and maybe more
efficient) to only check the set of tags that I'm filtering for, so I
could maybe temporarily set org-tag-alist to the list of those tags?

Hi Friedrich,
I have fixed this now, all tags that are represented in the
current agenda will be passed into the auto-exclusion function.
