Hi Thomas,

Dan just made me look again at this thread, which I had not yet
studied closely.

I think you have created something very useful indeed.  I love
the compact lists, and I am sure there is a lot more I would use.
So I am wondering:  What can Org do to support and integrate this
class?  I can think of a couple of things:

- distribute it in contrib
- advertise it in the manual
- have it as one of the default classes in org-export-latex-classes

But maybe you have other ideas?

Cheers

- Carsten
