I've been watching this thread closely. At this point I want to jump in. I like the ideas that have been posted here so far, about a different way of organizing remember in org. I'm not completely certain, but it seems that part of what was asked for earlier is included in org-remember already, when the template posts to the file directly, bypassing the remember buffer altogether. I don't remember why this was unfavorable to me, but in many ways it is useful. Many of the ideas of the OP and others about the use of tags, etc., would be more than useful.
Another point, although somewhat off topic, draws my attention:

Actually what I would find useful is a task dispatcher for Emacs: a way to go to common tasks with a few keys.
For instance: C-c C-x C-g would open your customized dispatcher, a dialog similar to C-u C-c C-x C-j (clock recent task) but which shows you predefined tasks, like:
[1] answer phone
[b] breakfast
[p] procrastinate!
[n] think about next task to do
[2] work on file2 a bit more
I agree with this, but I'm not sure how I would want it implemented.
I am currently using a file I have called "
general.org" with links to various projects. Following an idea from Sacha Chua, the following is in the init file:
:(defun general ()
: (interactive)
: (find-file "~/org/General.org"))
I use it to store links to various projects. It has often occurred to me how handy it would be if this were integrated better with org-mode. I would like to be able to start defining a project, with a command that did the following (at least):
1. interactively ask for a project name and make an org file or directory (optionally)
2. insert a link either in some list like
general.org 3. define (perhaps suggesting a default) key binding
4. perhaps setting up logging or other automatic processes (clocking?)
For now, however,
general.org in my setup solves my problem. One more reason I like having my ~/org hierarchy under git control on three machines.
