Besides the tipp that you can make an Org-mode todo out of it
(probably the best way to write down todos :-) you might want to
have this notes in the LaTeX PDF result file as well.

For that purpose I am using a LaTeX-newcommand:

\newcommand{\fixxme}[1]{%%
\textcolor{red}{FIXXME}\marginpar{\textcolor{red}{#1}}%%
}

Writing something like this\fixxme{check source for quotation} ends
up in a «FIXXME» within the line and the text in the braces in the
margin space - set in red letters.
