Multi Todo state

Multi Todo state

[Chao LU]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 465 bytes --]

Dear all,

Is it possible to have multiple todo state for one item? Like example below:

(setq org-todo-keywords '((type "PersonA" "PersonB" "PersonC" "|" "DONE")
                                      (sequence "REPORT" "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE"
"|" "FIXED")))

So it could be possible for one item both have "PersonA" and "BUG" todo
properties. Besides, what's the essential difference between TODO and TAG?
Since to me, TODO is kind of special TAG?

Thanks a lot.

Chao

The way I understand it, TODO states have a flow/sequence to it.
Although they need not always be sequential, e.g. a type TODO keyword,
still they have a flow of NOTDONE --> DONE associated with them.
Whereas, a tag is probably more of a concept related to filing or
categorising and don't as such represent a work flow of any kind.

I hope that helps.

PS: If anyone feels they can improve on the above or if I am wrong
about something, please feel free to correct me. :)

and, for the OP, don't forget that there are two other pieces of
information associated with any item: a CATEGORY and the file name.
This gives a total of 4 data that can be used to /label/ items of
interest, not counting the headline itself, of course.

Agenda views will easily display 3 of the 4 data (default is category,
todo state and tags, IRC).

I use categories for projects, tags for individuals and TODO states for
state information.

Elsevier's "Executable Paper Grand Challenge"

[Bill White]

In light of recent paper by Davison, Dominik, Dye and Schulte, this
sounds like something org-mode could address:
http://www.executablepapers.com

There is a USD 10000 first-place award.

   Executable Paper Grand Challenge is a contest created to improve the
   way scientific information is communicated and used.

   It asks:

   How can we develop a model for executable files that is compatible
   with the user’s operating system and architecture and adaptable to
   future systems?

   How do we manage very large file sizes?

   How do we validate data and code, and decrease the reviewer’s
   workload?

   How to support registering and tracking of actions taken on the
   ‘executable paper?’

   The purpose of the Executable Paper Challenge is to invite scientists
   to put forth their ideas pertaining to these pressing and unsolved
   questions.

See http://www.executablepapers.com for more information, deadlines, etc.

Cheers -

I come up with the same answer to all four questions --- Org-mode!

All the best,
Tom

Yes, these are only unsolved questions to those who haven't
discovered the answer yet.

It does seem like an interesting challenge though, it will be
good to see what the entries look like.

Bill,

An org-file instance on a virtual machine based on GNU/Linux and other
open source stuff doesn't limit any redistribution and will always run
on the right host. The host architecture is the only limitation then.

One issue with org-mode and babel is the necessary availability of all
tools called by the babel-lines. Publishing a VM File with all tools
installed as the container of a scientific document solves this.

January 15th is a bit close though.

regards,

Joost
