The README_GIT advises to discuss the idea before making significant changes. I already made the changes on my local copy of an old stable version (org-6.33f) but I hope "better late than never" still applies. I keep most of my notes as outlines, which is what org-mode has simplified. I would like to export the outline as pdf but not as an article or report. I previously used the latex outline package and added a few modifications to get the output I liked. I added the changes to an old stable version of org-mode (org-6.33f), which worked nicely. The code is on github: https://github.com/juliusgb/emacs-org-tex-outline I'd like to add the changes to the current development version. I've searched the mailing lists and the org-issues site for this request or something similar and nothing turned up. That was my green light. While adding the changes to the current development code, I ran into an obstacle: I couldn't find org-install.el even with the find command; but org-install.el is part of the stable release. Is org-install.el only added before a stable release or I'm I missing something else? Another question: must all the contributions be stored in the contrib directory? I added the org-latex-outline.el in the lisp directory because all the other output formats, which depended on org-exp.el, org-install.el were in the lisp directory. The org-latex-outline.el also depends on org-latex.el and I wanted to avoid the sorrow of parting them. Maybe there's a better setup that I can use. I'm all ears. In addition, I've already signed the appropriate papers with FSF. Thanks, Julius
