In my syllabus I have a bunch of headings like this:
* Outline: Semester 1 ** Introduction: What is History For? ** History and the Public Sphere
** Recursive Publics ** Abundant Information and the Digitial Divide ** Crowdsourcing
(there are subheadings and text in between). While i'm planning I like to move the headings around quite a bit, but it would be nice, while I'm doing that, to still know what date the class meeting will take place on. So I would like to do something like this:
* Outline: Semester 1
** Introduction: What is History For? <2010-09-16 Thu>
** History and the Public Sphere <<last timestamp+7 days >>
** Recursive Publics<<last timestamp+7 days >>
So essentially, have something like a spreadsheet formula embedded in the timestamp. Does anyone have any ideas how I might jerryrig something like that? It would certainly be helpful to me.
