Aloha Nicolas,

It's a real pleasure to know that Org can now eat its own dog food (and
to see Carsten's memorable phrase on the Org mode list again). Many
thanks for picking up this orphaned project. I look forward to the day
it serves as the source for org.texi.

When I was working on the project several years ago, I didn't notice any
constraints introduced by Jonathan Leech-Pepin's ox-texinfo. For me, the
hard part was trying to synchronize with the on-going changes to
org.texi, which quickly defeated my best efforts. Have you figured out
how to automate that?

All the best,
Tom
