Yes, this is what makes the choice difficult. Org-mode is tough to categorize. It cuts across field boundaries in sometimes amazing ways. > I was surprised at your choice simply because there appears to be > nothing relevant to statistics about what you have written.

I think the idea of submitting to JSS came from the functional overlap with Sweave, which is widely used by the R community, and the ease with which compendia can be implemented in Org-mode. The compendium idea seems to have developed largely within the statistical computing community, with strong ties to R in particular. JSS is one place the R community congregates, so we thought the article would get some attention there. > Hopefully somebody else from the list will have a better idea! > As usual, you've provided good food for thought.
