Ever used org-mode contrib packages?

Ever used org-mode contrib packages?

[François Allisson]

Hello,

I've just updated the index of contributed packages on Worg [1]. Have
a look, it is full of treasures...

Out of the 61 listed contributions:
- 43 are hosted on Org-mode's contrib/lisp/ directory 
- 9 are hosted elsewhere
- 9 are already incorporated into the core of org-mode, but remain
  here for documentation purposes. (Well, 9 is not the right number,
  since org-babel amounts only for 1 in these stats...)

As for the documentation, 24 packages have a dedicated documentation
page on Worg (once again, 1 "tree of pages" for org-babel). Fell free
to document those you find useful.

On my side, I am only discovering the contrib/lisp directory, but have
already tested with profits org-contacts and org-mairix. I'm curious
to know what you are using from org-contrib...

All the best,
François.

- I use org-notmuch to link to emails from org files.
- I also use org-occur-goto for easier navigation.
- I also use org-google-weather to display weather information in my
  Agenda

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

 - org-drill
 - org-learn

org-drill - heavily dependent on org-learn. If I had kids doing O-levels
I would surely recommend it. Invaluable for stuff you want to learn by
heart. Good documentation too.

Best, Martyn

I use org-collector pretty extensively for meeting workflows. I use
concepts similar to Org Mode Tips for Team Management (
http://juanreyero.com/article/emacs/org-teams.html ) but without the custom
code from it. Each meeting is a level 1 head in an org file dedicated to
the team I am leading, I track meeting notes, tasks, etc. using normal
org-mode features. I have a top-level task summary header that has a few
sections that populate tables based on different criteria using
org-collector. I circulate meeting notes as a PDF export via LaTeX limited
to the task summary header and the most current meeting (using a no export
tag on past/completed meetings so that they do not export).

I'd be curious too.

Can someone organize a poll around this?

In the meantime, let's share our experience on the list, 
it's a good read.

The only one I use currently is org-mime and even then only infrequently.

However, this thread has spurred me on to have a look at org-collector
as this could prove quite useful to me!

I use org-babel, org-drill, and org-mac-link-grabber extensively.

Hello,

Just fixed the broken link to org-refer-by-number.el;
hopefully this gives others a better chance to actually use it :-)

Please find its short description below.

with kind regards, Marc-Oliver Ihm

Well now, that is a pretty cool hack to org. Thank you !
