Can you be a bit more specific, maybe give an example of your Org file and the expected agenda view? I can think of three ways of implementing something like milestones: TODO keywords, tags and properties. Did you already try to use tags and/or properties? For me, a milestone would be an ordinary task with an additionnal bit of information, and I would put this piece of information in a property. For example: ,---- | * TODO Release 1.2 | DEADLINE: <2007-12-15 sam> | :PROPERTIES: | :Milestone: Unicorn | :END: | | * TODO Fix bug #322 `---- > Also its interesting is anybody using milestones or similar concept > with orgmode, if yes how you implement them, and what is your workflow > to manage them? I would also be interested in this. Did you make any progress on this since you last posted your question? -- Bastien
