There is this ruby utility cheat (see http://cheat.errtheblog.com/ )
that allows one to make/use cheatsheets using ruby. The format of the
cheatsheet is yml.
I feel that it should be possible to replace ruby by emacs and the
yaml format by org-mode
Does anything like this exist?
There is of course a third aspect to the ruby solution -- providing
web-available cheatsheets (see http://cheat.errtheblog.com/b )
This I am currently not asking for because I am only trying to track
my own findings in a manageable way

For me, the reference card is exactly that, a cheat sheet. Though, not in Org.
But still viewable in Emacs with doc-view (for PDF or PS).
Best regards,
Seb

FYI There is also a cheat emacs interface:
http://github.com/defunkt/cheat.el
the idea is not bad if it isnt a NIH syndrom otherwise just use cheat ;)

Hi Rustom,
Maybe this helps (dunno)?
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryReferenceSheet
Or maybe you are looking for an Emacs function that _generates_ cheat sheets?
In that case, `C-h m' and `C-h b' come to mind. Or if you want to know/print
the bindings of a particular keymap (by name), `C-h M-k' from library
help-fns+.el does that (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/help-fns%2b.el).
FWIW - Personally, I've never seen much utility in cheat sheets for Emacs. I
confess that I did make some for myself when I was a newbie, but I never really
bothered with them after I discovered Emacs's integrated help (`C-h m', `C-h b',
`C-h k', `C-h w', `C-h a', `M-x apropos', etc.). No doubt the _act of making_
such a sheet manually can help one learn some keys, but beyond that I don't see
much point in them. Just one opinion, of course.
