I'm encouraged to know that there is an active community here. I'm using Emacs 23, but I've been trying to get my org files to sync between Ubuntu (which has 'GNU Emacs 23', 'Emacs Snapshot (Client)', and 'Emacs Snapshot (GTK)'), OSX with Aquamacs, and my Android phone. I believe that I got the package manager installed on one of the linux emacs clients as I was looking through a list of packages to install, but I can't remember which one. Now M-x list-packages RET shows "[No match]", so I can't confirm it. I'm confused why it would have worked before and not now. A few considerations: - The ELPA instructions are for Emacs 22, not 23 (but like I said, I believe I had it working before) - I didn't change the ~/elisp/ path from the package manager installation instructions - If I skip ahead in the Worg instructions to test whether the installation was successful by locating the library, I get the following return: "Library is file /usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/org/org.elc" Anything else I might be missing?

Here is how I read it: - you use Emacs 23.2 - you do M-x list-packages RET - you don't see "org" as a proposed ELPA package. Is that right?
