Any further suggestions here? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems very strange to me that a need for alike timestamps was not recognized in org-mode - for example, how would one build a TODO item for something like a class spanning say over two months and with class hours say Mon and Wed between 10am and 11am? Also, is this placing time at the start of item, and having it recognized when agenda view built some kind of special syntax? I wasn't able to find it mentioned in org-mode documentation... Thanks.
