Sure, please go ahead. >> Also, Mario has been working on org-plot.el too > > Ah yes, well if Mario is interested I'm certainly open to such an idea :) Great -- because I know Mario shared a lot of proposals, many of which where probably ignored or dismissed because the patches did not follow our conventions closely enough (despite his notable efforts). It is of foremost importance that we stick to these conventions: they help reduce the burden of Org maintainance. But it is a pity that we lose contributions because contributors cannot follow them and find it difficult to do so. So, be free to both cooperate on making org-plot.el more useful! >> I'm not an org-plot.el user so I cannot comment on the usefulness and >> correctness of the code, but perhaps you need to coordinate your work? > > On the usefulness front, I'm quite confident that the exposes some handy > functionality.

Also, org-plot.el would do better with a maintainer - would you like to step in? Thanks, -- Bastien
