Subject: struggling with fixed date entries
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 02:40:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fat6h5$qnb$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

I wonder what is the best way to work with fixed dates in org.
I do not want to them entered as "SCHEDULED".

Say I have a meeting on a certain date.
I do not want to enter it as a todo, as for me it is not really a todo 
but a simple meeting which is done when it is over.
If I enter it as a simple headline (todo or no todo) and schedule it it 
will show up after the meeting as due until I mark it as "DONE" or 
delete the schedule.

Now I could use the diary. Agenda view will show the event and complain 
no more after it is past. Disadvantage: I cannot org-tag the diary entry.
As I do not use the diary and diary functions are included in org I can 
use something like:

    * Fixed date event                                  :@LOCATION:
      <%%(diary-date 29 08 2007)>

which is ugly and cannot be entered with the help of the calendar (as by 
"C-c C-s"

What do you think? Would it be a good idea to at least support the 
entering of a "diary-date" by a org function directly with the help of 
the calendar? Maybe create a third type of schedule type: "FIXED" 
besides of "SCHEDULED" and "DEADLINE"?

How do you manage fixed events?
