Although I agree, in principle, with this statement, life is not always
so straightforward. I track org for my day to day use because I find
some of the new features that appear quite useful. However, I do also
rely on some form of stability for certain tasks. These are conflicting
desires and I realise that this is *my* problem!
However, I also am concerned at the move to the new exporter without
documentation. This move appears premature if the documentation is not
yet ready, not even in a draft form.
I have been using the new exporter for many tasks but have not
completely moved over for two: generation of beamer presentations and
publishing of web pages. The latter is probably not a major issue for
me but the former is. I simply have no idea how to convert my old org
beamer files to the new exporter as there is no documentation at
all. The source code (org-e-beamer.el) is of some help but not enough
for me to know how to convert, in particular, slides with blocks and
columns.
Maybe it will be trivial to convert. However, I have been unsuccessful
in finding anything on the mailing list that describes how to. This
could be my fault in not searching properly, of course, so I would
welcome any pointers to relevant emails.
My solution will be to not update org until that documentation is
available. Not a major problem but frustrating nonetheless.
By the way, in case this email is taken the wrong way, I am in no way
upset or angry! And I really appreciate all the work that has gone into
the new exporter: it works brilliantly for those aspects that I have
figured out and is a great step forward for org overall.
Thanks,
eric
