It ;; makes it easy to keep track of the work of several people. It ;; keeps context (with whom and where you are) and allows you to use ;; it to metadata to your notes, and to query the tasks associated ;; with the people you are with and the place. ;; ;; See http://juanreyero.com/article/emacs/org-teams.html for a full ;; explanation and configuration instructions. ;; ;;; Configuration ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; In short; your todos use the TODO keyword, your team's use TASK. ;; Your org-todo-keywords should look something like this: ;; ;; (setq org-todo-keywords ;; '((sequence "TODO(t)" "|" "DONE(d)" "CANCELLED(c)") ;; (sequence "TASK(f)" "|" "DONE(d)") ;; (sequence "MAYBE(m)" "|" "CANCELLED(c)"))) ;; ;; It helps to distinguish them by color, like this: ;; ;; (setq org-todo-keyword-faces ;; '(("TODO" . (:foreground "DarkOrange1" :weight bold)) ;; ("MAYBE" . (:foreground "sea green")) ;; ("DONE" . (:foreground "light sea green")) ;; ("CANCELLED" . (:foreground "forest green")) ;; ("TASK" . (:foreground "blue")))) ;; ;; If you want to keep track of stuck projects you should tag your ;; projects with :prj:, and define: ;; ;; (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance '("prj") ;; org-stuck-projects '("+prj/-MAYBE-DONE" ;; ("TODO" "TASK") ())) ;; ;; Define a tag that marks TASK entries as yours: ;; ;; (setq org-sec-me "juanre") ;; ;; Finally, you add the special views to your org-agenda-custom-commands: ;; ;; (setq org-agenda-custom-commands ;; '(("h" "Work todos" tags-todo ;; "-personal-doat={.+}-dowith={.+}/!-TASK" ;; ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t))) ;; ("H" "All work todos" tags-todo "-personal/!-TASK-MAYBE" ;; ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled nil))) ;; ("A" "Work todos with doat or dowith" tags-todo ;; "-personal+doat={.+}|dowith={.+}/!-TASK" ;; ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled nil))) ;; ("j" "TODO dowith and TASK with" ;; ((org-sec-with-view "TODO dowith") ;; (org-sec-where-view "TODO doat") ;; (org-sec-assigned-with-view "TASK with") ;; (org-sec-stuck-with-view "STUCK with"))) ;; ("J" "Interactive TODO dowith and TASK with" ;; ((org-sec-who-view "TODO dowith"))))) ;; ;;; Usage ;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; Do C-c w to say with whom you are meeting (a space-separated list ;; of names).
