That was present in the "standard classes" section but not in the beamer
section (which was completely empty :-( ).

I worked on the file a bit to bring it up to date (at least in some
respects): the "standard classes" now include beamer, and I checked the
default list of packages to make sure everything needed is present. I
added a new section on code blocks, the "listings" package and the
"minted" package.

But there is still a lot of work to be done.  If you have suggestions
for improvements, let me know (or better yet: clone the worg repository
and start making changes!)
