A great thanks to all of you who are working on this awesome piece of code. Actually I'm trying to integrate all my university stuff into my org-files and I'm a bit stuck. All my university stuff means: there is a certain date when a semester starts and another one when it ends. During that time I have to go to a couple of classes which usually have "homeworks" related to them. In addition there are vacations (hooray!) and holidays. At the end of a semester some examens and theses need to be written. How would you guys express all this in an org-file? I solved the start, end and vacation thing like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ ** APPT segundo cuatrimestre SCHEDULED: <2010-02-08 Mon> *** vacaciones SCHEDULED: <2010-03-15 Mon>--<2010-03-19 Fri> *** finaliza segundo cuatrimestre DEADLINE: <2010-06-04 Fri> ------------------------------------------------------------ Examens are APPTs too. Well, it works, but to me it doesn't seem to be the proper way to do all this. Espacially I have no idea how to integrate the classes and their homeworks now. Greets, Thomas.
