Hello all,
For your information, to anyone interested in GTD and org-mode,
I am developing a tiny tool for org-mode to schedule your agenda tasks
easily like Mailbox iPhone app (http://www.mailboxapp.com/).
https://github.com/yasuhito/orgbox
(This is already available on MELPA.)
Usage:
- Open org-agenda view.
- Move your cursor to a task you want to schedule and type C-c C-s
(or M-x orgbox).
- Select one of the scheduling method from the menu shown on the
minibuffer.
- [l] Later Today
- [e] This Evening
- [t] Tomorrow
- [w] This Weekend
- [n] Next Week
- [i] In a Month
- [s] Someday
- [p] Pick Date
If anyone is interested in being involved in taking this forward,
that'd be great.
Yasuhito

I had a quick look at your code and this looks like a nice idea. I have
a couple comments.
It would be great to be able to configure some of the hard-coded dates
and time, such as:
- later today: number of hours (currently 3)
- start of evening: currently 18:00
- start of day: currently 08:00
- start of weekend: currently Saturday (you could use
`org-agenda-weekend-days' as you are doing for the `orgbox-weekend-p'
predicate)
- start of week: currently Monday, at 08:00
- someday: currently in 3 months
I don't know how difficult it would be to make these user configurable.
In any case, I find this is a very useful addition to scheduling in org
mode.
Thanks,
Alan

I installed this manually, because I don't want to use org from elpa (as
I prefer to stay up to date with the master branch).
Is there a way to install orgbox without pulling the org dependency?
Thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan,
I installed the attached file with M-x package-install-file to avoid
getting org pulled in via (M)ELPA. The large version number means that
new versions of org don’t look like upgrades, preventing them from
overwriting this package. Obviously, you should edit the path to your
git checkout of org. You’ll additionally have to add the org/lisp and
org/contrib/lisp (if desired) directories from the git checkout to
load-path in your init.el (before calling package-initialize).
(I think the copyright line was put there because package.el would
fuss if it was missing. This code is so short I doubt it is actually
copyrightable.)

This is a great suggestion! As I'm already loading org, I follow
a similar approach. I installed the following file (with an updated
copyright ;-))
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;;; org.el --- Dummy org mode package
;; Copyright (C) 2014 Alan Schmitt
;; Version: 30000101
()
;;; org.el ends here
#+end_src
Thanks,
Alan

From a mnemonic point of view, I would rather choose [m] for "in a
month".
