Kris,
You may have discovered this in the meantime, but I gave you the wrong
line for adding the org documentation to your info-path in emacs (so
that M-x org-info gets you to the latest docs). It's not
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/path/to/org/doc")
but:
(add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "/path/to/org/doc")
I don't know how long this has been broken in my own setup, but I just
noticed it and thought I'd correct my advice to you. If you actually
install org mode to a place that the info commands can find (/usr/local
perhaps) you don't need this. But I just put the org repository right
in my ~/.emacs.d/vendor/ directory, compile it in place, and leave it
there. As long as I add the right paths to the org-mode/lisp and
org-mode/doc, everything works.
If you use stuff from the org contrib directory, you can also do:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/you/newpath/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
