Hi --
A few weeks into stable org usage (thanks again for getting Aquamacs
to fix that issue) and I am starting to push past basic knowledge. I
realize that there are many things that can be editing remotely from
the agenda. One of the properties I most want to be able to edit is
Effort. Is this possible?

If you display effort in the agenda in column view (C-c C-x C-c), you can edit
the effort by using Shift-right or Shift-left or "e".
This is from my .emacs.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-drawers (quote ("PROPERTIES" "CLOCK" "EFFORT" "HIDE" "LOGBOOK")))
(setq org-global-properties (quote (("Effort_ALL" . "00:00 00:10 00:20
00:30 01:00 01:30 02:00 02:30 03:00 04:00 05:00 06:00 07:00 08:00"))))
(setq org-columns-default-format "%TODO %CATEGORY %60ITEM(Task)
%5Effort(Estim){:} %5CLOCKSUM(Clock) %SCHEDULED(Time) %DEADLINE")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is working wonderfully, albeit with some lag. Thank you!

Hi --
Still working on developing my use of effort estimates. Is there a way
to conveniently enter an effort estimate without entering column mode?
I have gotten used to the easy ways to add deadlines and priorities in
outline view and wondering if there was something similar.

Hi Michael,
I find column mode the easiest personally. My setup is described at
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#TaskEstimates
Starting column mode for a single entry (not a huge org file) should be
really fast. Then right arrow to the effort column and enter your
quick-key for the value you want. I actually assign effort values in my
refile agenda view. This shows a bunch of tasks (normally less than 20)
and I assign efforts to each one before refiling them.
If an entry already has an effort value you can go to the property in
the property drawer and cycle through the preset values with S-right and
S-left.
HTH,
Bernt

Hi Michael,
I think that editing effort estimates in bulk in column view
is really the bet way to do it, because then you have an overview over
all the tasks and you can add all the missing estimates.
However, I can see that occasionally it might be useful just to
add a single value. For this, there is now
C-c C-x e
This will let you enter an effort estimate, with completion if
you have allowed values defined. With a numeric prefix argument,
like `C-u 5 C-c C-x e', it will directly pick the nth value.
In the agenda, the `e' key will also run this command, so in the
agenda you can do `5 e' to get the fifth value.
HTH
