I was pushing the use of org-mode tags to cater for identifying contexts for lists as well as making pure lists. I think it is best to structure the org-mode file to keep the agenda items for each person separate from the tags. So, if I want to make a list of things to talk about with Andrew, I will have a section for Andrew, and similarly for items to discuss with Belinda. * Agendas ** Andrew *** My annual performance review *** Discuss PROJECT X delivery date ** Belinda Charles
