Thanks John,
The biggest challenge has been getting my team to use emacs, and appreciate its power. A few of the students are now comfortable with it, but most are still novices, even the computationally savvy members of my team. For now I am forcing everybody to use org as a latex replacement no babel or beamer yet. However, In the fall I will mandate that all data analysis (matlab babel) should be included with all manuscripts. I notice that you prefer to use python rather than matlab. Is there a reason for this ? Matlab is free at my institution so cost is not an issue.
I welcome any advise or tips you may have
Best Wishes,
M
