This collection of questions suggests that you look at orgmode 
http://orgmode.org/  which is really suited to exactly this kind of activity. 
After youve looked around and played with it for a day or two, ask this on the 
org mailing list -- preferably in more specific form. Org-mode is probably the 
single biggest killer-app in emacs-land today; its certainly making more 
converts of people who would otherwise run miles from anything emacs-ish and 
has even spawned a vi clone -- vimorganizer
