What I was describing (and again, I'm not at all convinced this is a good idea) is a headline in a regular org file that looks like this: * [ag] Next Tasks :PROPERTIES: :AGENDA_QUERY: -WAITING-CANCELLED/!NEXT :END: The [ag] cookie tells Org that this is an agenda headline. You hit "C-c C-g" (or something) within this headline, and Org runs the query and inserts the results as children of the headline. It's just a plain old Org headline, and can be saved or exported as part of the file. The only difference is that you can continue to update it (either manually or with a hook), and that certain Org agenda keybindings are in effect while point is in the headline (actually this part would probably be the most difficult). Anyhoo, just an idea. > I see how the Tinderbox feature may be a bit more general. > > If anybody comes up with a precise feature request based > on Tinderbox or any other software, let's try to see if it > fits with Org's approach and let's implement it. -- GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.11) of 2012-09-05 on pellet 7.9.1
