Disclaimer: I don't use #org-mode (yet)

I'm wondering if I can define somehow list(?), "source" file(?) of things I will be repetitively using, so instead of typing manually every time name of the paint / book / etc I would be able to choose it from somewhere? I don't have any specific idea how it should look like, it's about avoiding typing it every time as it increases chances for making a mistake.

Do you know of any self-organized, bottom-up, locally-rooted educational organizations?

I am asking this because I am talking intensely with @ceci about ideas and dreams we have for our home city, #Sanremo, Italy.

We are both coming to the conclusion that an autonomous, independent, cooperative, critical, and deeply rooted university is one of the very very few projects that could give young people in the area a real chance not to emigrate.

As we are also both deeply in love with fringe academia, it would also be the only reason for us to somehow maintain a bond with our homeland.

Please, boost and share this, and send us any kind of suggestions! We particularly welcome Italian initiatives.

I need a bit of help with my #emacs fu. I'm trying to add some export options to my #org capture templates, but they don't work: `org-capture: Capture template ‘T’: Template is not a valid Org entry or tree` If I remove the export options, they do.

Does anyone here knows if this is a known limitation?

I have asked this here, for more details https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2025-02/msg00488.html

Thanks!
lists.gnu.orgorg-capture: problem using a template with export options in it

I am (was? 😰) so tempted to make the move from #obsidian to #orgmode ...

Going back to my IT roots (17 years without #emacs 😅) and finally get something that fully meets my needs...

I've read a lot, have setup Emacs and #org config on my Mac. Typed my first notes, first TODOs...

And then I've hit the one hurdle that was too much, after having beat many other ones. When setting up a capture:

(setq org-capture-templates
'(
("l" "Daily log"
entry (file+datetree "~/sync/org/log.org")
"* %?"
:empty-lines 0)
))

Emacs just throws a:
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

This is too much 😰
