What could be = the "minimal" introduction needed before talking = about
org-babel for a smart = (but maybe not emacser) audience?


That's an excellent question, and I = have no idea what the answer should
be.  The first step is = certainly introducing Org-mode, maybe with a
focus on tables, and the = export to html and LaTeX.  =46rom there Org-babel
may best be = described as the addition of active source code to = Org-mode
documents.

I think Org-babel is most easily = introduced through a couple of short
live demos hitting on the main = points of functionality
- executing a source code block capturing the = results in an org-mode buffer
- reading inputs from a table
- = reading inputs from another source-code block
- tangling
- = exporting an org file to html including soure-code block results
=  and/or fontified code

Best of luck! -- = Eric


Hi = Andrea,
