When someone needs some tool to get things done it's either ok or move to the next one. Doing just TODO lists is fine but incomplete for the bigger picture. I use emacs to code so org-mode is fine cause it right there and I don't have to start some other agenda app. Hmmm this idea just hit me : How about using ICS files ? I am not too familiar with them but I think they pretty much do what I need !? >> Things that are not there (or are not obvious): >> >> 1.
