I well understand that Org is all-volunteer effort, and I have the deepest appreciation for and admiration of all involved. Emacs and Org have transformed my life! All the same ... when I'm working on something at three in the morning, and I *know* I saw (and saved) a bit of information, and the sitemap and the index and even Google just shrug their shoulders.... I would have been happy to add publicity for the information myself, if I could have just found it! > If you do not know > how to add to Worg take a look here: > > I have not yet sent my public key to Bastien to become a Worg contributor, but I expect to soon. > If getting that to work is a problem, post on the list with the text and > someone else will add it. I'm pretty sure that's a given. :-) > Cheers, > > PS: I updated the index for that entry. Let me know if this is better. Hmm. I don't see it on the website, but it probably just hasn't been rebuilt yet, and I don't know where you might have added the index entry. In the most recent pull from Worg, however, I see that Bastien has started an Org-8.0 document. That will be a big help. > Footnotes: > > [1] Here by you I do not mean specifically you Terry, just a place > holder for any Org user. Thanks to you and everyone for your contributions.
