Hi Rainer,
Thanks for starting this. It looks like a great skeleton. Here are a
couple of comments which I hope are helpful.
To find more publicly available Babel function you can do C-c C-v h in
an Org-mode buffer or run the org-babel-describe-bindings command
There are two high level sub-menus which I may suggest be added to the
above, namely "languages" and "library of babel", which could list
information on available languages and list library of babel functions
respectively.
I'm not sure how menus are normally used, specifically how Emacs breaks
functionality between the menu, configuration and help sub-systems. It
is possible that because of such boundaries both the "help" and
"languages" submenus may not be appropriate.
Two other pieces of menu content which occur to me are a list of the
code blocks available in the current buffer including some information
on each block (e.g., name, arguments,), and a way to show the user what
the current file wide header arguments are -- note: there already exists
a function for displaying this information on the code block level
`org-babel-view-source-block-info' which may be sufficient.
Cheers,
