But this is a good opportunity to send out a shout to my fellow orgmoders. Carsten Dominik writes: > Hi, > > I would like to use this message thank all of your for your > contributions to Org-mode.

I'm planning a second, bigger org-tutorial that presents a particular TODO system. It will basically feel like the system I used in my last job---which demanded all the organizational skills I could possibly muster every day for almost two straight years---plus some newer things I've learned from reading about GTD and other methods. In particular I would like to try recording an audio/video screencast. I have seen some impressive ones on Emacswiki. But first I have to finish the other (still Emacs-related) tutorial I'm writing: http://dto.freeshell.org/e/cl-guide.html > - The coders: > Some of you have written additions to Org-mode, in particular Bastien, > David and Piotr. I really get a kick out of this. I'm also planning to integrate org support into my new (beta) Emacs Lisp project ( http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/Eon.html ). I will definitely ask Carsten to help me interface them, as we did for org-publish.el. As for org-publish, the new LaTeX support is nice. I'm not sure what is coming next for org-publish.el, perhaps people can suggest ideas. I can think of at least one: I want both the ability to export to LaTeX (and then to PDFs with hyperlinks) AND to make a PDF whose styles come directly from your CSS. At one point I was working with an HTML->PDF exporter that had great-looking output; unfortunately it is implemented as a PHP CGI, so you need to have Apache running even to use it. I never could get it working properly with org, but perhaps there are other programs out there now. -- David O'Toole dto@gnu.org http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/
