Hi everyone,
I am working on remodeling MobileOrg for Android and I'd like to discuss a
few changes for mobile-org.el.
I am trying to contact the maintainer of mobile org. The file mobile-org.el
says carsten@orgmode.org but I tried it and it is not working. Does anyone
know who is currently maintaining mobile-org.el ?
Thanks

I read your mail from a month ago. Unfortunately, I don't know enough of
this library to be useful to the discussion.

It is part of Org core, so anyone with write access to repository can
maintain it. The current maintainer is Bastien Guerry, who reads this
list. IOW, you can discuss the changes here.

Hello
So what I wanted to discuss was the possibility for a MobileOrg to create
new files from its phone and keep them synched.
Currently the list of synched files is a file called "index.org" stored in
the synch folder and Emacs and MobileOrg use ite for pulling changes.
However everytime Emacs pushes a changes, it overwrites this file. Because
for pushing, Emacs use a second list of files, the variable
'org-agenda-files and it will recreate a new index.org based on
org-agenda-files content. To conclude, if MobileOrg had added a file to
synch in index.org, it will be removed from the list after next Emacs push.
So my suggestion is for Emacs to stop using org-agenda-files to generate
the list of synched file but use the currently existing index.org. In case
index.org does not exist (for eg. at repo initialization), then
org-agenda-files can be used to create it.
To be honest, after a lot of reflexion, I think more and more about using a
external synch mechanism (such as git) instead of using org-mobile.el. A
positive point would be to allow non-Emacs people to use MobileOrg with
synchronization. So I may not even use my own suggestion but I still think
it is worth to mention this "incoherence".

There is already one-way information transfer from MobileOrg to Emacs,
via the file mobileorg.org. This is processed by `org-mobile-pull'.
Could it be adapted to include a new instruction type for telling
Emacs about any new files to include? Function `org-mobile-apply'
looks like the one to modify (and rename meaningfully, and
functionally decompose...)
