Subject: phone links...
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:23:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5156228C.4010400@sift.info> (raw)

Since I keep my todo tasks in my org files, and some of them involve
phone calls, I made a rudimentary handler for "phone:" links that I
would like to contribute.  It features a link declaration (in
org-phone.el) and an ancillary script (currently only working on Mac OS
X, but should be translatable to other platforms) that can be used to
place skype calls to the phone numbers.

One thing it does not do is support interactive entry of phone numbers.

The two files are below, in hopes of getting suggestions for improvement
so that someday this could find itself into contrib/.

Cheers,
