Hello,

During the last few days I have learned about org-mode and I'm starting to plan how to change my current work flow to org-mode. My current work flow is as follows:

* At the beginning of every new day I create a horizontal line and a time stamp.
* I use mediawiki == headers == for headers and * for bulleted items.

Here is the typical view for two days:

-----------------------------------------
Monday 2010-11-08 09:49

Worked: 8:00-17:15

== Done/Todo ==

* Add parameter somewhere so that energy graphs take into account that only part of the panel receives radiation. Do this in run_specific_site.py.
* Teach Alex about python.

== Meeting with Alex and Betty ==

* Todo: run simulation for Tumbaktu.
:
-----------------------------------------
Tuesday 2010-11-09 8:31

Worked: 8:17-

== Engine changes ==

* All these will be changed to vector<Matrix> M[panel*2]
** ground_collect_matrix Ok
** sky_diffuse_matrix Ok
** sky_beam_matrix Ok
----------------------------------------------

So now I am trying to figure out how to map this into org-mode. Here are some observations and questions:

The horizontal rule is ok in paragraph mode.
The timestamp is ok by doing C-c .
But the "worked line" doesn't work if I try to use "C-c C-x TAB" as it complains "Before first headline". I could turn the row into a header or just insert plain text. Is there a more elegant solution? I don't want to have the "worked" line indexed. Note that the "worked" line is used at the end of the month to summarize the amount of work hours.
Is there any way of separating headers from items? I like the non-symmetry of the "==" syntax for headers and "*" for items, but I guess I can get used to that.
At my previous work place I used the same notebook file for more than 10years(!) of notes, and needless to say it got to be very big (around 100k lines). Can org-mode handle that size files?
How can I customize the exported HTML? E.g. I don't like the table of contents or the numbering of headers.

But alltogether org-mode looks great! I'm looking forward to use it both on my desktop and in emacs on my N900.

Thanks,
Dov
