And yes all those packages are earlier Versions of org-index :-/ However, I did not try to cover my traces that way, but rather tried to find a name, that at first glimpse gives an idea of this packages purpose ... Now, org-index is a good fit, I think and I will not change its name again. Regarding your upgrade path, I think you can easily switch from org-favtable to org-index, only that you should rename org-favtable-id into org-index-id within your .emacs As far as I can deduce from the version history which is contained in org-index.el, you do not need to convert your index-table; it will work unchanged with org-index. (please tell me, if there are unexpected problems !) Finally as for the piled up confusion of having several packages with different names. I need help from the org-mode elders in cleaning this up, because I do not have commit-bit for org, only for worg. What should be done is this: The only package that should be retained is org-index.el all others (org-reftable.el, org-favtable.el and org-refer-by-number.el) can simply be removed in favour of org-index.el, the latest version of which resides in worg. Now, if the last paragraph passes unnoticed for some days, I will send out a note directly to someone, asking to help me clean up :-) Thanx for your feedback and best regards !
