Having recently set-up an org habit for the first time, I have some
feedback on the manual page `Tracking your habits'. Point 6 currently
states
6. You must also have state logging for the `DONE' state enabled
(*note Tracking TODO state changes::), in order for historical
data to be represented in the consistency graph. If it is not
enabled it is not an error, but the consistency graphs will be
largely meaningless.
which I found a little too vague.
I had org-log-done set to 'note. This was not sufficient to get correct
habit consistency graphs. Changing it to 'time was, but I quickly got fed
up with not being prompted for notes on closing other types of task. I
therefore reverted to 'note, but added the property
:LOGGING: DONE(!)
to the habit task. This now works smoothly as I wished.
Based on this I suggest adding the above LOGGING line to the PROPERTIES in
the example included in the manual so it reads:
:PROPERTIES:
:STYLE: habit
:LOGGING: DONE(!)
:LAST_REPEAT: [2009-10-19 Mon 00:36]
:END:
This should make it easier for other users to set up this feature.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your feedback.

I don't even understand the paragraph you copied, but I'm also not a
org-habit user.
In any case, patches for the documentation is welcome!
If you want to supply a patch to the manual check out this page:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html
You could submit a TINYPATCH.
God jul,
Rasmus
