Maybe this suggestion already went by. I can't keep up, sorry. There are a lot of wonderful tutorials out there, and some great documentation, but often it requires a fairly high level of understanding of emacs to solve what's missing or what goes wrong and a bit of cutting and pasting. I'm kind of more interested in actual, working examples, that require as little setup and thought as possible, all collected in one place (like, org-examples.git or as part of the org-mode git tree), that anyone could try, use, or edit as a base... They would range in complexity from the basics to whole-user setups of org. It would have some sort of directory structure like this, maybe: org-examples/invoices-weekly/lisp org-examples/invoices-weekly/org org-examples/users/dtaht/lisp/org-config.el ;; etc Now, that would be a good start. What would help more (and I worry if this is even feasible) would be something like (org-example foo) ;; which would load the given example and the requisite lisp code for it ;; without messing up the rest of your org configuration. -- Dave Taht http://the-edge.blogspot.com
