I'd really love to hear that, too! =)

I doubt there's an intended default use. <muses> Or if there was, it's
gotten kinda lost. You could, for example, use planner just as a way
of having date-specific text files. Nothing forces you to use it for
your TODO list or notes. =)

No python, but that's probably because Emacs Lisp handles all of that.

I have Lisp code that generates PHP for my dynamic calendar. Not the
best of approaches, but acceptable. Must be _very_ careful about
writing code like that, as it's heck to debug. The style sheets just
make it look the way I want. Aside from that, it's a pretty normal
planner minus a lot of features. For example, I turned off task
renumbering, note renumbering, and automatic task ID updates, as I
realized that I didn't need them automatically done for me and I could
always invoke the right methods when I want.

I use planner and remember to blog stuff I need to keep track of. My
thoughts on planner can be found at

Perhaps we can put our stories up on http://www.emacswiki.org? Link to
it from http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerMode, I guess. =)
