I'm not sure if this is what you are after, but one way is to use custom
agenda commands and then to save the agenda as a txt file:
The following pages have good information on creating block agenda with
custom commands:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.php
http://orgmode.org/manual/Block-agenda.html#Block-agenda
E.g.,
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
'("D" "Delegated tasks"
((tags-todo "Jenny")
(tags-todo "Archie")
(tags-todo "George"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Once you create a custom agenda command, you can simply save it as txt
by typing C-x C-w and the filename + relevant extension.
Another option is to use a babel block and org-map-entries to spit out a
simple list of tasks for each person:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+source: tasklist
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var person="me"
(let (tasklist)
(org-map-entries
(lambda ()
(add-to-list 'tasklist
(concat "- " (nth 4 (org-heading-components)))))
(concat person "/!TODO") 'agenda)
(mapconcat 'identity tasklist "\n"))
#+end_src
#+call: tasklist(person="Jenny")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Add this to an org file, replace Jenny with the appropriate name, and
type C-c C-c to spit out a list (of all TODO items tagged with the
relevant name) that looks like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+results: tasklist(person="Jenny")
#+begin_example
- Call George
- Call Archie
- Estimate cost of widgets
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You could do something similar with dynamic block function.
HTH,
Matt
