Hi!
First: Thanks for orgmode! Didn't know that it would be possible to
love my emacs even more :-))
After I'd watched Dominiks Google Talk about org-mode (thanks for
that, very interesting), I started to organize my stuff in a more
"information centric" way. It looks like this is a very good approach
especially when handling small, but long running projects.
All I currently miss is the possibility to have a top overview of my
projects, listing the count of the different keywords (since each
project has its own file, this would be in fact an overview of my
agenda files). This would give me a quick overview of the status of
each project and would be a perfect starting point when
checking/digging into my projects, especially if the counts and
filenames would be links ...
Example:
|-------+------+------+-------|
| File | TODO | WAIT | LATER |
|-------+------+------+-------|
| File1 | 5 | 2 | 10 |
| File2 | 2 | 2 | |
| File3 | 12 | 0 | 0 |
|-------+------+------+-------|
Did anyone something like that before? Or is this maybe already
possible with orgmode?
Thanks!

There is nothing built-in to make something like this, but using
dynamic blocks and the entry mapper, it can be implemented compactly.
Load the following code, in .emacs or so....
(defun org-dblock-write:count-todo-states (params)
(let ((states (or (plist-get params :states) '("TODO")))
table file entry tbl)
;; Map over all entries
(apply 'org-map-entries 'my-count-todo-states-internal
nil 'agenda params)
(setq table (nreverse table))
;; Insert headline
(insert "|File|" (mapconcat 'identity states "|") "|\n|-")
;; Insert the counts
(while (setq entry (pop table))
(setq file (car entry) tbl (cdr entry))
(insert "\n|[[file:" file "][" (file-name-nondirectory file) "]]|"
(mapconcat (lambda (x) (number-to-string
(or (cdr (assoc x tbl)) 0)))
states "|")
"|"))
;; Align the table
(org-table-align)))
(defun my-count-todo-states-internal ()
"Count TODO keywords per file, into dynamically scoped variable
`table'."
(let ((todo (org-get-todo-state))
(bfn (buffer-file-name))
a a1)
(if (not (assoc bfn table))
;; Add entry for this new file name
(push (list bfn) table))
(setq a (assoc bfn table))
(if (not (assoc todo (cdr a)))
;; Add entry for this new TODO keyword
(setcdr a (cons (cons todo 0) (cdr a))))
(setq a1 (assoc todo (cdr a)))
(setcdr a1 (1+ (cdr a1)))))
Then put the following two lines into an Org-mode buffer
#+BEGIN: count-todo-states :states ("TODO" "WAIT" "LATER")
#+END: count-todo-states
Each time you press `C-c C-c' on te BEGIN line, the table you are
looking for
will be updated between these two lines. I have made the file names
links,
I am not sure what you mean by making links of the counts.....
HTH

Wow, thanks alot :-) I thought about writing an external script since
I don't really know too much about lisp, but I definitely prefer a
'native' solution. Unfortunately I get a
Lisp error: (void-variable my-count-todo-states-internal)
Stack trace:
(lambda nil my-count-todo-states-internal)()
org-scan-tags(my-count-todo-states-internal t)
org-map-entries(my-count-todo-states-internal nil agenda :name
"count-todo-states" :states ("TODO" "WAIT" "LATER") :content #("\n" 0 1
(fontified t)))
apply(org-map-entries my-count-todo-states-internal nil agenda (:name
"count-todo-states" :states ("TODO" "WAIT" "LATER") :content #("\n" 0 1
(fontified t))))
org-dblock-write:count-todo-states((:name "count-todo-states" :states ("TODO"
"WAIT" "LATER") :content #("\n" 0 1 (fontified t))))
I had a look into the code but got somewhat lost, sorry ... :-|
(BTW currently I use emacs 22.3 on windows).

I thought about making the count numbers links that automagically
open the corresponding file and execute a sparse todo-tree command;
this would help to ie quickly view all my 'WAITING' entries (complete
w/ context) of a specific project.
I was also hoping the be able to (a) differentiate in the
overview between scheduled and unscheduled (kind of 'open') entries and
(b) to open sparse trees only showing these unscheduled entries (see my
other post "custom commands 'todo-tree' and org-agenda-skip-function").
Anyway, thanks very much for all your effort!

FWIW, it worked for me (Thanks Carsten.) I eval'ed the two functions
and added this to an .org file:
,----
| #+BEGIN: count-todo-states :states ("TODO" "APPT" "NEXT" "WAITING" "DONE" )
| #+END: count-todo-states
`----
and did a C-c C-c on the lines to get the summary table.

Hi Manish, thanks for checking.
It turns out that I had to fix a little bug to make this hack it work,
obviously you already pulled the latest version before you tried.
So yes, Vladi, you need to either get the git version or wait for the
6.08 release.
