Hi there,
I want to use a special org file to collect quotes. The file is special
in that it contains only a plain list. I want to use remember to quickly
file a quote to it but it seems this is not yet possible to do in
orgmode. I wonder if this feature is useful to have?
Thanks.
Leo

For this I would have two files: the one with usual headlines, where
you can remember your quotes, and another one where those headings
are converted to list items. It shouldn't be hard to automate.
Otherwise I don't understand how remembering a plain list would work,
since remembering heavily relies on the target structure.

I finally decided to use bookmark to jump to the file quickly and insert
quotes directly.

This was one of the plans for org-remember that James TD Smith was
working on.
Maybe you can get him to release these changes :-)

I have found a need for a remember template to add a row to a table in which
I have been keeping a series of data on (for what it's worth) CPU and GPU
temperatures. This could be useful in a number of contexts. A remember
template would save some time, each time data is entered.
Perhaps there is another way?

Not sure this is the best way, but I do this with a remember template
including prompts for properties (so, for example, you would have a
template prompting you for CPU temps Nd GPU temps), and then use
columnview to display the relevant information in columns.
See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Capturing-column-view.html#Capturing-column-view
Someday (When I Have Time) I'm going to investigate org-collector.el,
which I think might be better. But this is working for me now.
