This is a really nice addition to org. However, I have a couple of 
suggestions which I think might improve it.

At the moment dates are inserted as plain text. It would nice to have an 
option to insert the date as either an active or inactive date. Perhaps 
if there was a remember variable the user could simply surround it with 
either "[" or "<" as appropriate. Or maybe there is a better way?

At the moment the date formats are hard coded. It would be nice if there 
was a date format variable that the user could set, with some sensible 
default (like the current one).

Ian.

You can use the %U escape in any remember template, which inserts the
inactive timestamp for this item's creation time.

Bye,

Thanks Tassilo, but it doesn't do what I want. This is an example of 
what org-datetree produces:

** 2009
*** 2009-11 November <- I would like to customize this format.
**** 2009-11-14 Saturday <- I would like to choose to make this a timestamp
***** Test1
***** Another Test.

The structure of the tree is also for parsing - in order to put in  
entries at the right place, the tree leaves must be easy to find and  
interpolate.

So I do want the tree the way it is - we can negotiate about what  
comes after
the date, ant that can also be a timestamp or anything.
