<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">TODO</span> Speedbar support for agenda.<br/>
Nic Ferrier has been pushing this agenda for a long time, for
example with <ahref="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/140/">this email</a>. I am not deep enough into the semantic
web that I could do this myself. Maybe we can do this by
modifying the html exporter step-by-step?
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">INCONSISTENCY</span> Find a better place for formatting checkboxes<br/>
Right now this is being done as part of `org-html-expand', which
does not seem logically correct.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">DECLINED</span> Can I make the exporter more efficient?<br/>
The line-by-line processing may not be the fastest way to do
this. It certainly uses more resources. Right now the exporters
do work though, so it is unlikely that I am going to change this.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">DECLINED</span> CSV import/export of tables?<br/>
I remember this coming up several times, for example in emails
from <ahref="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/156">Niels Giesen</a> and <ahref="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/139">Tim Callaghan</a>. Org-mode does have
Tab-separated export of tables, so right now I don't really see
the benefit of adding CSV export. Are there applications that do
not understand tab-separated files, but do understand
comma-separated ones?
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">DECLINED</span> In HTML export, make links from the time stamps<br/>
Time stamps have their own class now which allows to highlight
them etc. But I was wondering if something more useful could be
done with them, like a link to some kind of calendar…

Org-mode re-binds C-a to make this command go to the beginning of
a visible line. There are other keys which might invoke C-a.
Should these keys be changed as well? one could use
`substitute-key-definition' on the global map to find them all.

<li><spanclass="todo">TODO</span> Use the new argument of bibtex-url<br/>
Roland Winkler was kind enough to implement a new argument to the
`bibtex-url' command that allows me to retrieve the corresponding
URL, whether it is taken from a URL field or constructed in some
clever way. Currently I am not using this, because too many
people use an old Emacs version which does not have this.
however, eventually I will implement this.

<li><spanclass="todo">WISH</span> Get people to write articles about how to do GTD with Org-mode.<br/>

<li>Priorities<br/>
Here is some information about priorities, which is not yet
documented.
<ul>
<li> Priorities<br/>
<pre> TODO entries: 1 or 1,2,...
DEADLINE is 10-ddays, i.e. it is 10 on the due day
i.e. it goes above top todo stuff 7 days
before due
SCHEDULED is 5-ddays, i.e. it is 5 on the due date
i.e. it goes above top todo on the due day
TIMESTAMP is 0 i.e. always at bottom
but as a deadline it is 100
but if scheduled it is 99
TIMERANGE is 0 i.e. always at bottom
DIARY is 0 i.e. always at bottom
Priority * 1000
</pre>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">INCONSISTENCY</span>: items don't grow/shrink due to promotion.<br/>
In plain lists, multiple demote/promote commands executed directly
after each other don't change the scope of the command - the
initially selected text continues to be selected. This is
inconsistent with the behavior of outline sections, were the subtree
for promotion/demotion is newly defined after each command. Which
convention is better? Should this be consistent between trees and
plain lists?

removed, so that only one line is kept.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">DECLINED</span> Think about Piotr's idea of treating TODO like a TAG.<br/>
The answer is probably NO because the simple part of TODO must
still be there and I like the keyword at the beginning of the line,
just like a checkbox. Of course you can make a TODO tag yourself
at any time.

</ul>
<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">DECLINED</span> Should TAB on TODO keyword rotate its state?<br/>
Problem: If the keyword disappears, it will suddenly start to fold….
So my feeling right now is that the answer should be NO.
<p>
No, because S-left/right does this already pretty well
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><spanclass="todo">DECLINED</span> Create a DONE counter in the mode line<br/>
That counter shows what faction of entries has been marked DONE. I
am not yet sure how useful such a thing would be, because of the
huge number of entries that can be in a file, and the different
weight of such entries.
Declined because we do now have counters for checkboxes, and the
feeling is that this is not so useful for TODOs.

<ul>
<li><spanclass="done">DONE</span>( <spanclass="timestamp">2006-06-06 Tue 10:17</span>) Radio TAGS for the fast tag interface.<br/>
Make lists of tags that are mutually exclusive. So when I turn on
@HOME, @WORK would be turned off automagically. A good syntax for
defining these groups in the #+TAGS line would be:
Then some statistics should be displayed. One idea is for
checkboxes, to use a special box [%] which will be updated with
percent of done. I could have an alternative [/] that will be
updated with something like [19/25] to show progress, and when the
two numbers are equal, I could highlight then in DONE face, just
like [100%]. All smaller numbers could be highlighted even in
TODO face if I wanted. Hmmm, I am beginning to like this.
<p>
Then: how to update this? Each time a checkbox is added or
toggled, go up and update all the counts, right up to something
which is not an item, or up to the previous header line.
</p>
<p>
Maybe I should also make an option for turning this on, to avoid
slowdown. I guess for long lists this could be slow.
</p>
<p>
Also would need a command for global update.
</p>
<p>
An maybe plain list and checkboxes should get their own chapter?
In Structure they seem to be a bit hidden…..

Also a menu sublist…

Email to John Smith (if I am the author)
</pre>
or
<pre>
John Smith on: Some subject (this is the current Org-mode default.)

some way to detect if I am the author of this email or not.

each match in the run preparing the export.

The easiest way to do this would obviously be to allow a number
setting for the tco switch, not only a simple t/nil switch. This
can be nice for webpages: One could have only top-level or level
1 and 2 in the toc at the beginning of the page, and then still a
more complex structure below.
