Message-ID: <dd03037e-0dcb-a06f-01b0-6e1effd01341@mailbox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87sghzxviq.fsf@sbs.ch>

Just for your amusement: I've developed a very different but effective 
way of taking minutes with org-mode that uses just lists and 
enumerations. I have been using this solution for more than a year on a 
daily basis and I'm really happy with it (and colleagues don't 
complain). Speed, simplicity and readability for non-emacsers is 
critical in my job, so the solutions you are proposing would be overkill.

You can have a look at the style and code here:

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. But keep in mind that the code is 
not polished at all -- this is a hobby project of an elisp dilettante.

Best,
Timm
