Yes, Org-mode matches perfectly the needs for a personal bug tracker. I use Org for all my tasks and software bugs are just a subset of them. Or maybe using Org makes me think of "repair the washing machine" as a bug? In both case, Org greatly helps tracking stuff. > The only downside is the lack of a referenced wiki system: simple links > to revisions (r1010) tickets (#245) etc. I guess simple revisions can be emulated with notes: C-c C-z But revisions themselves are not linkable then. Or a revision can be a new subtree in this task? Then this revision can have its own ID (check org-id.el in contrib/) and you can link to the revision. But that's perhaps too much structure for bug. > Any reasons why this is not a good idea? Not a single one :) > Any example of a similar org-mode usage? Maybe have a look at org-mode/ORGWEBPAGE/todo.org - but I guess Carsten has some other secret todo.org :) -- Bastien
