I'm sure that the caching mechanism is useful, but I'm not sure that we should do it with paying the large cost of rewrite whole codes. Because the orgmode is the center of information for the many Emacs users, I think it is very interesting for not only elisp codes but also the other applications to access the information of the orgmode via emacsclient or D-Bus messaging. If the interface for the mode of orgmode items and modification hooks is defined, one would send todo items to one's mobile terminal immediately, or share the items on the SNS. Of course, it is just a trivial idea, not my request. > I will let you know about progress about this. > > Thanks again for raising this idea! I'm glad to be able to share my idea. It was difficult for me to discuss the abstract topic quickly in English. Thank you -- SAKURAI, Masashi (family, given) m.sakurai@kiwanami.net
