[Orgmode] Re: feature request: a basic conversation manager

[Samuel Wales]

Hi K,

Indeed, if that is what you want to do, you can do it without too much
effort, I think.  The conversation manager is a bit different, but
similar.

I have not looked at the conversation manager idea for some time.  At
the time I also wrote (and still have) more notes on it.  If anybody
is interested in the conversation manager, let me know.

There are many future possibilities for the conversation manager.

===> But please note the following <===

The most important thing is that in the meantime I came up with the
idea of ID markers, which actually significantly simplify these issues
and allow a large set of other possibilities, simultaneously.

So, if what you are doing is similar to the conversation manager (as
opposed to org-add-note or tweaks to allow capture to capture to
point, for example), then I think it is best for me to dredge out my
notes on ID markers (but you can visit my posts on them and get the
main idea).  My health is not up to doing a lot on it now, however, so
I would just post what I already did.

If what you are doing is different, such as getting org-capture to
capture to point, then it's probably not relevant.

Hope this helps.

Samuel
