That would be great for the orgmode community. Hi Rene, I don't have time to maintain an Elpa package of this stuff currently. This past Friday I just did a 'catch up' in gnus on this mailing list and skipped 8600+ unread articles (including this one) due to lack of available time. Thanks for the email in private that brought this thread to my attention. It should be possible to extract the lisp from my document (http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.org) and generate a lisp file with C-c C-v C-t. This is described at the end of http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode#HowToUseThisDocument >From there you can edit whatever you need to for your settings. I personally don't want to conform strictly to David Allen's idea of how GTD should work. I like to roll-my-own way of doing things and if an Elpa packaging of this code would require learning and modifying the workflows to match David Allen's latest book I simply don't have time for that undertaking. Someone else is welcome to take that on if they are interested. I just discovered late last week that one of my settings relies on a feature of the org-mode master branch (and has for over a year) and this change has not been included in any maintenance release of org-mode. Lots of people have contacted me about the breaking signature change in org-remove-drawer-at which is posted in my config since I use the master branch of org-mode. I think most people will be using official released versions of org-mode so I'm not sure how best to handle this issue until Org 8.3 is released which is supposed to include this signature change. I will probably just document the signature change and provide alternative code to use in the extracted version for maintenance releases until 8.3 is created. Best Regards, Bernt
