Subject: org-bbdb: anniversaries with unknown years
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2010 12:15:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874ocujqvm.fsf@falma.de> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to keep birthdays and similar dates in bbdb and have them shown
in my org mode agenda views. Often, however, I do not know the year of
an anniversary, and in the case of my acquaintances the year of a
personal anniversary is often not meaningful (e.g. name days, popular in
some countries).
The solution that came to my mind was to update org-bbdg.el to also
accept dates in the format MM-DD. org-bbdb-anniv-extract-date would
then substitute nil for unknown years. The remaining code would make
sure that "unknown" is substituted for unknown `years'.
That solution seems fine, however it would break compatibility with the
old format of org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist, as this assumes that a
numerical value of `years' is always defined.
Before writing a patch, I would like to ask for opinions on this.
Cheers
Christoph
