Hi,
I have to do a job every 2 weeks on Friday
I want to have a task which:
- remembers me (or is shown in the agenda) 2 days before, thus Wednesday
- when the recurring date is over it is set on DONE automatically
- and is shown again 2 days before the next Friday another 2 weeks
Any hints?
Thanks, ukhara

Hmm,
requirement 1 and 3 would be something like this:
DEADLINE: <2012-11-11 So ++2w -2d>
, a repeated task with an explicit deadline for the item.
Regarding 2, the setting to DONE automatically bit:
May I ask, why you consider that? It doesn't seem really
useful to me; a status change, purely based on time, does not convey any
information whatsoever afaict.

In this special issue I have to do a report every two weeks and the agenda
should only remember myself; in case the date passed, it doesn't matter:
the status should change for a fortnight to DONE
I don't want to have list of items in the agenda, which are always done and
I have to change manually the status.

Maybe you want to use
* TODO task
<2012-11-23 Fri ++2w>
or if you really don’t want to look ahead in the agenda and really
want the reminders on the two days before
* TODO task (due on Fri)
<2012-11-21 Wed ++2w>
<2012-11-22 Thu ++2w>
<2012-11-23 Fri ++2w>
which will shift all three timestamps synchronously when set to DONE.
This can even be used without TODO when there is no need for the
possibility of getting the task out of the way when it’s done before
it’s overdue.
Michael
