Yes, I am.

My poor capabilibies on Emacs Lisp are constraining my efforts a bit.

I am sending the last version of org2rem which integrates timed reminds from
DEADLINE: and SCHEDULE: lines

I lack a way to add timestamps

Brackets are another problem with remind

Something like

**** Shop   [1/5] [60%]
    SCHEDULED: <2009-01-12 Mon +1w>
- [ ]  2 dvds
- [ ]  1 cd
- [ ]  1 disk
- [X] extra 1
- [X] extra 2

I opt to kill all the bracketed enclosed regions

REM 12 Jan 2009 MSG Shop   %

Since
REM 12 Jan 2009 MSG Shop 1/5 60% %

may generate a problem due to %
