I can describe my approach to things like this:
Being no lisper, I usually try to find a working example that
basically does what I want. Then I try-and-error tweak it, till it
works. For creating new records, I found these:
Append a birthday field:
http://sachachua.com/wp/2008/07/20/emacs-bbdb-modifying-the-record-creation-process/
German modifications to the cration process:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BbdbCreateRecord
And it works so far. But I got no clue, how the bbdb really works :(.
But I think Birthdays should be in there, and not in a separate org file.
Searching through http://orgmode.org/org.html, the monolithic org documentation
for org-bbdb, I only find this line:
Thomas Baumann wrote org-bbdb.el and org-mhe.el.
And the manual (for very good reasons: Excellent!) is the first place I
have a look at.
Having a look at the faq, I find a page for diary integration, but org-bbdb
is not mentioned there, either (afaik).
Google was no help, so there seems to me there is only the documentation in
org-bbdb.el, which is, I am sure, enough for everyone who knows lisp and the
bbdb... Still, a faq-page, maybe dedicated to "Interaction with other modes",
might help: This could include remember, diary and bbdb integration.
Now, there is only Appointments/Diary.
And I think mentioning it in the manual somewhere (maybe with a link to
the faq page) would be great. I found out about org-bbdb.el only by
reading this list closely.
Nur meine 0.02 cent ;)
And again, thanks for org-mode ;)!
