I make extensive use of date tree for maintaining various log book journals. I've got various capture templates set up so that the two characters: F* take me to the right file and date tree. I type in the note, then C-c C-c takes me back where I had been previously. The template capures the date and time for the note, plus other context information per the template. This creates very nice time tagged logs. The only gap that I see, and it's minor, is that there is just one date tree per file. R Horn
