Subject: POLL: the 40 variables project
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:49:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <FD50CA36-A385-4C80-8E86-E3BE9F352B0A@uva.nl> (raw)
Hi,
yesterday I did this command in my org-mode git repo:
grep defcustom lisp/*el |wc -l
and got 378 as an answer. 378 user-customizable variables,
no kidding.
However, I bet that only about 10% of these are really used
by more that one user :-). So when a new users starts digging
into Org-mode, they simply must be confused by the amount
of variables that can be set.
So here is the idea: I would like to find out which variables
users actually customize. This could be the basis
for a great article on Worg, describing just these selected
variables.
In addition, I could make a special customization group which only
contains those variables (Emacs allows to put a variable into several
groups). It would be awesome to have, and a much easier start into
customizing Org.
So here is my question to all of you. Could you, in reply to this
message, list all the Org-related variables that you have customized,
along with the values you used?
If you want to do more, I'd also love to see comments on
- why you set the variable like this
- if you feel that the default value of that variable
should be different
- Any other comments you might what to give.
Of course, if there is a volunteer who would like to organize
this info into a Worg page, I would even be more happy ...
Thanks!
- Carsten
