Specifically, I make frequent use of org-transclusion .  At any given
time I may be involved in one or more projects at $work.  I need the
ability to summarize (for a given time period) my contributions towards
a specific project.  Simultaneously, I also need the ability to
summarize my contributions (for a given time period) across all
projects.  By having project-specific Org files where I maintain
project-specific summaries and having a joint Org file that links to the
project-specific summaries and "transcludes" them (i.e., inlines their
specific content) I am able to address both needs.
