It's a very nice little utility for giving presentations using Emacs as the display engine. Obviously I was aghast to learn that epresent didn't work with Org-mode documents. I took the liberty of reworking it so that it runs off of Org-mode documents and uses Org-mode both to structure the presentation and to handle most of the fancy display elements. This re-working was mainly a series of quick hacks, and is certainly not "mature" in any way. But I think it is usable in it's current state for running simple presentations, and thought it may be interesting or of use to people here. If you're interested check out the example presentation included in the source code repository. http://github.com/eschulte/epresent (instructions in the README) Best -- Eric
