Hello all, please excuse me if this is a FAQ, I can't seem to find any
discussion on it.
How can one enter in repeating dates such as
every third thursday of each month
or
the first and third wendsdays of each month
?
Thank you very much.
Will

I've seen that page but I do not believe it covers the type of repetition
that I am interested in.
For instance, if I have an event like
"every third Monday of each month"
my first thought would be
<2010-01-18 Mon +1m>
but that repeats on the February 18, which is a Thursday.
These type of repetitions are common for organization in this area and I
would like to avoid having to enter in each date separately
Thank you,
Will

I'm by no means the org/emacs expert, but here's what I'd do:
* Meeting on 3d Monday of each month
<%%(diary-float t 1 3)>
(see
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Sexp-Diary-Entries.html
and http://orgmode.org/manual/Weekly_002fdaily-agenda.html)

Thanks much. That is exactly what I was wishing for.

That doesn't help. Neither of those pages say anything about this common
use case.
I do wish the Org manual, at least, would give an example of what the OP
is asking for: repeating events on “every month on the Nth D-weekday at
T time”, and how to translate the N, D, and T into some Org date+time
format that will give that result.
I'd provide a suggested addition to the manual, but I still don't
understand the baroque sexp date format myself.
