| Hi,
| 
| Yes, your plan sounds pretty challenging...
| 
| But here's how I would get started on it:
| - First I'd make one HTML-page to use for the
|   main layout. It will be this file that you
|   could then print-out (two sided) from within
|   any web-browser. To get the layout with your
|   five different panels you could use iframes in
|   the web-page, like this:
|   
|   <iframe src="leftpanel.htm" APPLICATION="no"
|    width="50%" height="600" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
|   <iframe src="rightpanel.htm" APPLICATION="no"
|    width="50%" height="600" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
| 
|   etc.
| 
|   You could control the looks and spaces for
|   notes on the print-out through CSS-styles
| - Next you'll need to write your function in
|   Emacs that will export your different data's
|   as HTML. By using org-mode that should be
|   quite easy to do. You could setup different
|   agenda-views (one of these view could include
|   your emacs diary entries as well) and
|   TODO-lists for export to HTML. And name them
|   leftpanel.htm, rightpanel.htm etc. to be
|   included into the iframes above.
| - The only part that would give trouble is on
|   how to include your contacts names and phone
|   numbers. I would not know how these could be
|   synchronised with the appointments listed in
|   your agenda-views...
| 
| Hope this helps,
| Renzo
