My point of view too. On top of this, I see two problems: 1. there is the problem of minimizing the distance between what the Org repository contains and what goes into the Emacs repository* 2. and the problem of imposing something that might not fit all contributors. Using litterate programming for a few files but not all is not a good option, and using litterate programming for all files would be too much of a constraint for many... Best, * That's also the reason why I'm skeptical about having the manual written as org.org instead of org.texi -- I mean, I'd be glad to be able to edit the manual as org.org, but having a preliminary export step before importing org.texi into Emacs might create problems. -- Bastien
