9 #+TITLE: The Org-mode TODO list
13 This is a loose collection of ideas and TODO items for the future
14 development of Org-mode. These ideas come from various sources,
15 mostly from emacs-orgmode@gnu.org, from direct emails to me, or from
16 my own day-dreaming. I don't always mention the source of an idea,
17 out of laziness. However, when I implement a good idea, I try to
18 mention the origin of this idea in the /Acknowledgments/ section of
19 the manual - let me know if I forgot to give /you/ credit for
23 On this page, I am using TODO keywords in the following way:
24 |-----------------+----------------------------------------------------|
25 | *Keyword* | Intention |
26 |-----------------+----------------------------------------------------|
27 | *TODO* | A development that is going to happen, once I have time or once I figure out how to do it. |
28 | *IDEA* | A new idea, I have not yet decided what if anything I will do about it. |
29 | *WISH* | A wish, probably voiced by someone on emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. This is less than a new idea, more a change in existing behavior. |
30 | *QUESTION* | A question someone asked, that needs some thinking before it can be answered |
31 | *DECLINED* | I have decided not to implement this feature, but I am keeping it in the list so that people can see it, complain, or still try to convince me. |
32 | *INCONSISTENCY* | Some behavior in Org-mode that is not as clean and consistent as I would like it to be. |
33 | *BUG* | This needs to be fixed, as soon as possible. |
34 | *DONE* | Well, done is done. |
35 | /NEW/ | This is a tag, indicating recently added entries |
37 |-----------------+----------------------------------------------------|
43 *** TODO Get rid of all the \r instances, which were used only for XEmacs.
44 *** WISH proper visibility cycling for items
45 Make them not hide the text after the final list item.
46 This is not trivial, we cannot usenormal outline stuff,
47 needs a separate implementation.
52 *** WISH Variable of standard links for completion with C-c C-l
53 Or something like that, to make standard links fast.
55 *** IDEA Find all links to a specific file
57 *** IDEA Make info HTML links work for links to Info files
58 Info links of course only work inside Emacs. However, many info
59 documents are on the web, so the HTML exporter could try to be
60 smart and convert an Info link into the corresponding link on the
61 web. For example, we could use the GNU software site then
62 Name.HTML. Here is the link to be used:
63 http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/ Another
64 question is, is this URL going to be stable so that it makes sense
65 to actually put this into org.el?
67 *** TODO Document the character protection in links
68 I don't think this is really covered anywhere.
69 Maybe we also should protect characters in the visible part, to
70 make sure thing will never be on two lines...?
72 *** WISH Radio targets across files
73 I guess each org file could write a .orgtargets.filename file, if
74 it has any radio targets.
81 *** WISH Make a variable that current line should be recomputed always
82 In each table. Skipping headers of course.
90 *** TODO Document the :recursive option for org-publish
92 ** Miscellaneous Stuff
93 *** BUG Comments cannot be filled
95 *** TODO Use the new argument of bibtex-url
96 Roland Winkler was kind enough to implement a new argument to the
97 `bibtex-url' command that allows me to retrieve the corresponding
98 URL, whether it is taken from a URL field or constructed in some
99 clever way. Currently I am not using this, because too many
100 people use an old Emacs version which does not have this.
101 however, eventually I will implement this.
103 *** QUESTION Do we need a 43 folders implementation?
104 That could easily be done in an org-mode file. But then, maybe
105 this should really be a paper thing.
108 Here is some information about priorities, which is not yet
109 documented. Actually, I am not sur if the list here is correct
111 **** QUOTE Priorities
112 TODO entries: 1 or 1,2,...
113 DEADLINE is 10-ddays, i.e. it is 10 on the due day
114 i.e. it goes above top todo stuff 7 days
116 SCHEDULED is 5-ddays, i.e. it is 5 on the due date
117 i.e. it goes above top todo on the due day
118 TIMESTAMP is 0 i.e. always at bottom
119 but as a deadline it is 100
120 but if scheduled it is 99
121 TIMERANGE is 0 i.e. always at bottom
122 DIARY is 0 i.e. always at bottom
126 *** QUESTION grep on directory does not yet work.
127 I am actually not sure, I might have addressed this already, but
128 my memory is failing me. Needs some checking.
