Then you see a consolidated view of multiple org projects (and the files that contribute to that view can be individually set per machine - you don't need all projects for all machines - but any repositories that are available can contribute to your agenda. Each of the projects are completely independent and don't need to know about each other - just the org-agenda-files variable pulls them into your agenda view. Regards, Bernt
