I thought some of the tricks and processes for keeping up-to-date with the work of each person in my team might be of interest to other people, so I wrote them up at: http://juanreyero.com/article/emacs/org-teams.html In summary, it is a simple way to keep track of TODO items associated to other people, query them, and add context to your notes (who is with you, where your are, and the time). The key idea is to ask emacs to remember these things, and use the extra state to automate agenda queries and quick tagging. I am very grateful to Carsten and all the people contributing to org-mode and this list. It's made a great positive impact in my work. Best, Juan --- http://juanreyero.com
