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...

Ah. I see. I don't think there's any way make an item with a diary sexp behave like a recurring timestamp. I think the best solution here would be to create multiple items w/ todos, as Stephan suggested in his post. > 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? I imagine one way to do this would be to create two items with repeating timestamps: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * TODO 10:00am Class SCHEDULED: <2009-11-09 Mon +1w> * TODO 10:00am Class SCHEDULED: <2009-11-11 Wed +1w> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > > 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... I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure where it's documented. But org-mode does scan the headline for time of day information.
