Announcing `work-log'

[vorotylo]

All of you played Doom. Some of you know that it was programmed by John Carmack. Few of you might be aware of .plan files he posted even before the term `blog' was invented. And I find the format used in those files to be clean, minimalistic, and fitting my own issue-tracking habbits.

The format is simple:

Why not to use org-mode with it's sheduling functions? IMO, it has simple and clean interface.

I used planner-mode, then switched to org-mode... and then didn't use any time-tracking/issue-management system at all. I hate the concept of TODO list.

Still, I need one occasionally. And so far work-log was the task list/history logger I could bear with.

/me starts reading about org-mode's scheduling functions. If work-log's behavior can be achieved with org-mode, I may consider sticking to the latter.

Though I was not going to implement any emacs modes initially, I had a lot of fun hacking.

It's one of the best things in emacs. :)
I use strait and simple TODO/FIXME/XXX's in code. Then there is a tiny function which greps all this tags and dump pretty printed info on the buffer. :)

Dates in "work log" are not deadlines, neither dates you plan to start working on a task. They are the dates when you noted the corresponding task/idea.

org-mode все таки в состоянии это сделать.
