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. Dan
