So my system is: I have my 'real' orgmode files in Dropbox, but not in my MobileOrg directory. I then have a command in Emacs that when I press C-c g, my .org files are committed to git, and org-mobile-push is called to copy them to the dropbox/MobileOrg directory. I then can sync from the ipod and have them there. I can make changes on the device, marking items as done and taking notes. When I come back to my desk, I use a command bound to C-c p to call org-mobile-pull. I also have auto-revert-mode enabled for org files, so all changes simply appear on screen in my org files. > > I'll try this and report back. > > -Luke
