Actually, I think this just means it happens every wednesday. I think
the *following* will do the behaviour you describe, pushing it forward
one week every time the task is marked done:
* Lecture at Kalina Health center from 9.00 to 10.00
SCHEDULED: <2008-08-20 Wed .+1w>
From the info pages:
With the `+1m' cookie, the date shift will always be exactly one
month. So if you have not payed the rent for three months, marking
this entry DONE will still keep it as an overdue deadline.
Depending on the task, this may not be the best way to handle it.
For example, if you forgot to call you father for 3 weeks, it does
not make sense to call him 3 times in a single day to make up for
it. Finally, there are tasks like changing batteries which should
always repeat a certain time after the last time you did it. For
these tasks, Org mode has special repeaters markers with `++' and
`.+'. For example:
