Dear Nicolas, FYI, you could be interested by some of my Org views, such as C-c a f . for showing Today's meetings and tasks.
Sections displayed:

• Calendar
• CollectBox (Unscheduled)
• Due Today
• Overdue
• Scheduled
• Completed Today

See https://github.com/fniessen/emacs-leuven/blob/master/org-leuven-agenda-views.txt.

(Best viewed using leuven-theme for having nicely colored titles.)

Waoh, impressive and very detailed and commented configuration. I've started reding it and it's great you had plenty of comments. I'm still fighting to design my GTD workflow, this will be useful. By the way, it would be great to have some screenshots illustrating the different agenda commands.

You can also have a look at my Emacs configuration, my idea being to have something that can compare to modern editors, by adding what I found "necessary" to have a great Emacs experience -- provided that the packages are found on your system (otherwise, that part of the configuration is simply skipped, so that the Emacs-Leuven "library" can be "universally" used, without harm).

You're right about the screenshots. That'd be a good addition.

PS- Would you have PR (on whatever), they'd be welcome!
