I've used it for one presentation already and found it quite useful. I have an idea that doesn't yet qualify as a feature request, more like an idea for discussion. What do people think about the idea of adding the capability to write inline slides, akin to the way we can currently write inline TODO items? The parallels between the two applications seem pretty significant to me. Sometimes you're in the middle of a long block of text or an outline tree where you don't want to disrupt the structure, and you want to add a different kind of content alongside the current material. The application I have in mind has to do with writing my doctoral thesis. I know that I'll be writing long chapters; I also know that I'll have to prepare slides for my public defense. Ideally, during the writing process I'll be able to notice a series of important points and drop into an inline slide to jot them down for the talk. Similarly, I could see wanting to start a section with an overview slide, but not wanting to alter the structure of the section. Since slides are mostly just headlines with special tags and properties, at the end of the process I could easily selectively export just the text of the dissertation or just the embedded slides. Early on in the process of developing org-beamer, a suggestion was made that footnotes could serve as a way of entering \note{} elements into beamer slides. That proposal sees notes as ways of annotating slides. I'm interested in sort of flipping that idea around, so that slides are basically short annotations of the major points in my thesis. Do people think that an inline-slides interface akin to the inline-tasks interface would be a useful way of incorporating beamer slides into org documents?
