E.g., progress tracking for projects, books, weight loss goals. Graphics of time tracking for sleeping hours, work hours, exercise hours, etc. Simple counts of how many Coke's you drink, etc. The idea will be to incorporate all these different types of information into an easy to read screen with simple graphics and tables, able to be exported to HTML or PDF for, say, daily review. This could integrate with org-habit also. I'm very much in the design phase now, no code. I should have some time to work on this in the coming months. I'll definitely keep the list updated with progress. You could easily do this stuff now with, say, R code blocks, but I am imagining a cohesive system. What I'm dreaming of may in fact be possible with some simple customized agenda hacking, I will investigate that first. --Erik Marcelo de Moraes Serpa wrote: > By the way, now that you mention it, Eric.

I should have some but sounds good! I look forward to it. The trick will be to ensure that the correct data have been recorded. For instance, to generate the graph shown on the taskwarrior web page, you would have to have recorded when tasks were created and when they were completed. For many of my tasks, I have the latter but not the former.

I actually found org-mode but didn't know emacs and ran away for a few months while trying to stick with my hybridized TiddlyWiki + TeamTasks[3] system. Org-mode is fantastic, but I know the appeal of those command line tools. The simple commands, lightness, and dead simplicity are hard to beat. Perhaps a nice tradeoff would be to get something from the command line that could work with one's remember template via the command line. This is where I see the advantage of a command line interface. I, too, have a terminal open and/or can open one faster than emacs for a quick command. With some terminals like tilda[4] just a keystroke away, one could be really fast with these kinds of notes... faster than (for me) Ctrl+Alt+E (emacs), C-x C-f file.org, M-S-> (eof), type "* whatever", C-c C-t, C-x C-s, C-c C-x. Imagine being able to pop open a terminal and type '$ org-todo "call so and so on friday" ~/org/task.org' and be done :) I don't really care that much about the graphs, but the quick filing would be nice. I'd also like access via a script to todos, perhaps for conky integration. Even 'cat file.org |grep -A 2 TODO' isn't half bad, though. Something like a cli agenda access would be pretty cool.

This discussion was about how to transfer data between the two frameworks. You wouldn't have to implement all of org-mode in python to read through an org-mode file, though I admit some sections would be more difficult than others (org-babel stuff, for example). I have found that the kind of stuff I would like to transfer from org to something else (and vice versa) is pretty simple most of the time. The more complex org-files are not calendar/agenda kinds of things but documents I use org to manage as I write (class notes/handouts/etc). My calendar/agenda stuff is reasonably simple and could pretty easily be parsed by most languages that have some support for parsing (built-in, or library/tool support a la yacc/lex, etc.). Other people might have more significant requirements, I suppose. Mark ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 31+ messages in thread

Sigh... I knew that <blush>. Thanks for reminding me! However, although it works just fine, each time I use it, the mini-buffer on any Emacs frame display the message "Org-mode not loaded."? org is very much loaded and, in fact, the same message appears even if I have the agenda visible!

Also, rather than a single org script like the one attached which dispatches based on its first argument, we could go the git path i.e., we can have org-agenda and org-add in the same way that git has git-log and git-push.
