Hi,
Recently, Jan explained to me the difference about a <date> and a "SCHEDULED: <date>"; see http://osdir.com/ml/emacs-orgmode-gnu/2011-11/msg00200.html
I'm wondering about what is the best way to put in repeating events in org-mode. For example, image you visit your friends every Thursday at 16:00. Now putting the event in as
TODO Visit friends
SCHEDULED: <2011-11-10 Thu +1w>
Now if I fire up C-c a L, I see that visit/meeting for this Thursday and also for the following Thursday. However, it also appears when doing C-c a a on Friday, namely as an event that happened in the past (on Thu) and which is still scheduled. So for this repeating event, I don't want it to appear on Friday as something I forgot on Thursday.
Well, then one shouldn't (?) use SCHEDULED. Okay, so just put it in like this:
TODO Visit friends
<2011-11-10 Thu +1w>
Now on Friday it does not appear anymore. However, if I fire up C-c a L it also disappeared showing "[... 12 empty days omitted]" although on the Thursdays within the 12 days, there's clearly the meeting with the friends.... So getting "12 empty days" is not right, since I actually have a meeting on Thursdays...
How can I put in repeating events so that they show up on C-c a L but they shouldn't show up after the corresponding date passed?
Cheers,
Marius

The timeline functionality is, if not obsolete, a second-class citizen in org.
