Quick feedback:
--------------
The interface for todo-mode looks good. Info documentation is good.
The starting few nodes are a bit too dense while the later nodes seem
like a lucid read.
Recommendation:
---------------
I would recommend it for simple todo-lists. Once the entries become
more, then categorization of entries looks like a rocket science. (Or I
should say, new users should be sufficiently trained.)
Verdict:
--------
Too many moving parts and the module needs to stabilize a bit. I
INVARIABLY run in to problems.
Giving up:
---------
1. For example, as I was exercising todo-mode for preparing this bug
report, the file ran in to an inconsistent state - A category with no
todo or done items was reporting 6 entries in `F c' table. I
wondered whether deleting the categories sexp and C-x C-q ing would
repair the todo file. Unfortunately, that doesn't help. So I am
attaching a "broken" todo file.
To add to the entries in the attached file,
1. Undo support while in todo-mode.
2. The following markers used in the todo file
--==--
==--==
are they consistent with the outline-mode. If not, some consideration
should be given so that they are compatible with outline-regexps.
Additional comment:
------------------
As some one who is familiar with (but doesn't use) Orgmode's data model,
I can share some opinions, if permitted.
With no further ado, here comes the attachment. Repairing the attached
file is reader's responsibility.
