Subject: [Orgmode] New feature idea: Todo completion log entries
Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2006 13:14:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45007DA7.8060602@gmail.com> (raw)
I find that completing a task often results in follow-up information
that I'd like to add to the entry in my org file. In this way, my
follow-up notes are connected to the action which generated them.
Here's an example. Prior to doing the task, I might have something
like this:
** TODO Generate a histogram of Foo data
- Use August test data
Then, after completing the task, I might want something like this:
** DONE Generate a histogram of Foo data
CLOSED: [2006-09-06 Tue 12:00]
- Use August test data
FOLLOW-UP:
- Histogram is [[file:foo-aug-histogram.pdf][here]]
(alternatively, the FOLLOW-UP notes could be under a sub-heading.)
My thinking is that it would be nice to have a command which marks a
TODO item done and also opens a buffer to enter follow-up notes.
(This would be like entering log notes after a version control
check-in.) When the "log" buffer is exited, the contents could be
appended to the org file (as above). Like the current org-log-done
functionality, this would provide for more meta-data about the task
completion.
