All I'm really looking for is a basic organization, = to let me "group"
tasks of different broad functional areas -- = accounting, recruitment,
IT, and so on.

And I like the idea = discussed in http://orgmode.org/org.html, = where
tasks get captured into a single refile.org file and then later = moved
about into their classification homes.

But of those = various ways of classifying, is there one to be = preferred?


Several times = when I've had this type of question, I've found answers I can use on = Bernt Hansen's Org-mode pages:
