Subject: how do scientists use org mode?
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:21:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D8911652-81D0-4552-A63C-A9DEB1CE3D67@gmx.net> (raw)

Hi
this is my first post here and although I am evaluating org mode with great interest, I am also asking myself in which way other scientists are making use of org mode. It will take a while to get my head around how to accomplish certain things in org mode but for the moment I am intrigued by *why* one would want to approach the problem of organizing one's research with org mode and in which way. 
Are you putting exclusively your todos in, well, your todo file and perhaps keep project-related things, such as data and progress, notes, ideas etc. somewhere else? Or do you embed your notes and todos within their original context, i.e. is org mode your one-stop solution for data management? Do you maintain a separate file for every major project you are responsible for or involved in or throw everything into one or few humungous  files and differentiate using hierarchies and tags? 
In the past I have hit some road blocks not so much with other softwares but rather concepts such as GTD, which I think is tailored to the needs of people outside science, so I would deeply appreciate your views and experience.

If this list is geared towards the proximate aspects of development and less towards philosophy of usage, I apologize

Christoph
