It's been almost 5 years since that last check and about time to do it
again.  And it's even crazier now. :)

Ouch.  That's nearly half of the 1792 Emacs options!

It certainly says something, but I don't know what :)

Well, you can use that for marketing:

it's the best proof, that it is not a lie, if you call org-mode "highly
configurable" 
:-)

Martin



p.s. for a new user, the large choice of options can really be quite
confusing

Maybe it says it's still a long way to go ;)

cd gnus_git && grep defcustom lisp/*.el | wc -l

Mhhh... that's somehow comforting (but I don't know how!)

Indeed.  We always need more tutorials and more structure in Worg.

I may help with a fresh tutorial at some point, but I need time.

True. But Is there a table with all the variables, in the form of:

| Variable | *short* description | link to manual |

This might be useful, especially as a dynamic web page, where one can
filter the variables - e.g. only babel variables dealing with "session".

Cheers,

Rainer

Not exactly this, but there is http://orgmode.org/worg/doc.html

(This is for "options", i.e. user variables, not all variables.)

If you want to make the current page more dynamic (maybe by testing if
INFOJS produces something nice?), please go ahead!

No table but "M-x customize-group RET org RET" gives all user
customisable variables, many (most? all?) grouped logically as well. 

Okay, maybe emacs's customisation mode is not the most intuitive to a
newbie but it does the job admirably in typical emacs function... in my
opinion.  I often use this mode to explore new packages, and old ones
when I've forgotten how to use them.

808 options. That is Scary, and daunting and amazing. 
Any possibility to get a update on the survey on which configuration are in 
use as well? 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-configs/org-customization-survey.html contains 
excellent information. But how have things evolved?

I have just started to scratch on the surface of orgmode. Maybe 8 months of 
usage. For me it would help me understand what I should look into next.

Thank you every one for all of your contributions.

Although I am not in general a big fan of emacs's customize feature, it
can be very useful for exploring options in packages.  I would suggest
you do

  M-x customize-group RET org RET

and browse...

Beware however that some variable names (in particular, export-related
ones) were changed in org 8.x, whereas the survey is for an earlier
version (IIRC).
