this is caused by the home buffer loading build-in
org which conflicts with elpa org.
We actually want to use elpa org exclusively so we have
to make sure to redraw the spacemacs buffer only
after we have finished loading the layers.
In addition latest org version 9.6 and the behaviour
on emacs 29 has also changed so that org is autoloaded
much earlier than before. This is what actually did
make this bug show up.
However this behaviour was in place since a long time
and could be the cause for a lot of unreproducible
bugs as the actual conflicts are dependent on the
distribution specific emacs version.
Known issues:
This is a hotfix it solves the original issue but
introduces a new, hopefully less dangerous issue,
this is for now the start buffer is not configurable.
I will add a follow up PR to remove this issue however
I think this is far less annoying than a set of random
conflicts caused by loading elisp files from different org
sources.
The Org Mode 9.0 release removed the org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine
and recommends the use of org-agenda-filter-by-tag in it's place. This
commit removes all uses of the function and the mentions of it in the
documentation. The same functionality can be achieved by using the typing
prefix C-u twice and then using org-agenda-filter-by-tag ("ft") as the
Org Mode documentation states.

From org version 9.5 org will not be distributed from Org ELPA but from
ELPA (see https://list.orgmode.org/87lfa7tc9v.fsf@gnu.org/t/). This commit makes
Spacemacs use/install org from ELPA.
Besides that, this commit removes some 'hack' that seemed to have no effect. As
org comes with Emacs `package-installed-p 'org` will always return t. Also
activating org via `configuration-layer//activate-package` seems to have no
effect.
Finally, the package is declared including a :min-version because appending only
`:location melpa` seems to have no effect (this can probably be considered a
bug).
I am almost certain that the information that was added when making org install
from Org ELPA is still relevant also for installing org from ELPA so I have just
adapted the version number from 0.104 to 0.300.
As the "org" archive has been removed, the `ert-deftest` for it can be removed
also.
* Point org-journal to dalanicolai's fork (temporarily)
The Spacemacs for using org-journal are written, assuming that some PR's by
dalanicolai get merged. As the merge takes more time than expected, we
temporarily point Spacemacs to use his fork.
Additionally, a subsequent commit that adds agenda usage recommendations also
assumes these org-journal PR's got merged.
* Add to docs agenda usage recommendations
The Emacs documentation is not very clear about the best way to use org-agenda,
especially regarding integration of the diary into org. This commit adds most
sensible configuration recommendations.
- fix/improve docs for org-wild-notifier
- document how to use agenda (recommendations)
Org-contacts is a handy contacts management system. It can be used to manage
(email) addresses (compatible with gnus, mu4e, notmuch etc.), birthdays and
more. It is much simpler than bbdb/ebdb and probably powerful enough for most
users.
I do not see any reason why the keybinding to enter org-agenda should not be on
`. ,`. Therefore I propose here to make that keybinding consistent with the
keybindings for entering transient states in most/all other modes
