[emacs-wiki-discuss] Planner: Multiple task pages (I've had a go)

[Chris Parsons]

Hi guys,

Well, I had a look at the code with a view to making the addition of an
extra task-page at the end of the task 'just work'... and it turns out
to be fairly tricky. Lots of the code currently relies on the fact that
there's one task-page - to add a task-page-list (or something) seems to
be a major hack.

Sacha, would you very kindly when you've got time be able to cast your
eye over the planner code and give some advice on the best way to
approach it? Would it be to turn the task-page variable into a proper
list, or is better to fudge it and store all tasks in the same variable,
seperated by a string?

Just to recap, what I think would be useful is to have more than one
task page for any task (should be as many as you like really), like this:

2004.11.03:

#A1  _ Task1 (PageA) (PageB)

PageA (Primary page):

#A1  _ Task1 (2004.11.03) (PageB)

PageB (Secondary page):

#A1  _ Task1 (PageA) (2004.11.03)

... and updating any of the tasks would autoupdate the current one. It
sort of works currently, but not quite.

If it aids the implementation, I suppose we could have (PageA,PageB)
within brackets.

Thanks for your input guys.

Chris
