Hi, can anyone give me a tutorial for org-mode programming and it's API.
I just read Eric Schultes module org-collector.el, but I can't understand the code: how it is organized and how to write the elisp for org-mode.
Can anyone help?

So,
The way that I learned how to program in emacs lisp was mainly using two
commands `elisp-index-search' bound to `C-h e' on my system, and most
importantly `describe-function' bound to `C-h f'. With
`describe-function' you can look at the source code of functions whose
behavior you are familiar with, you can then copy portions of the code
to your *scratch* buffer where they can be edited and evaluated with
`eval-defun' bound to `C-M-x'. Now with Babel, instead of doing this in
the scratch buffer you could do this in emacs-lisp code blocks in an org
file, enabling notes and hierarchical organization -- it can be nice to
have your noodling all collected in one file for later reference.
If you are going to do any serious work with lisp, I would emphatically
recommend using paredit-mode, and becoming friends with the Sexp
movement functions

They allow you to manipulate lisp code on the level of logical
expressions, the utility of which can not be over stated.
As for working with Org-mode in particular, I'd recommend looking at the
documentation and source-code of Org-mode functions with
`describe-function', and then looking for how these functions are
actually used in the Org-mode code base with `rgrep'.
For a more structured learning experience, I've heard very good things
about http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/, although I
haven't used it myself.
Hope this helps. Happy Hacking -- Eric

I'm afraid there is no such thing as an org-mode api, the closest you
could come would be
grep -i defun org/lisp/org.el
for a list of function names and their arguments, or run
`describe-function' then type "org-" into the minibuffer, tab complete,
and then search through the resulting function-names.

+1 and not to forget eldoc (M-x eldoc-mode)[1] that displays the
description of a variable or the arguments of a function in
minibuffer.
For hacking Org mode in particular there is a "Hacking" section in the
manual that explains the mapping and the property API.
For getting in touch with Emacs Lisp there's Xah Lee's Emacs Lisp
Tutorial, too[3].

I presume that paredit is useful because it's a minor mode, so you can
enable it on an org-mode buffer (e.g. using babel). But if you are
editing a .el file, then emacs-lisp mode provides all these facilities
(C-M-f -> forward-sexp, etc.) and you don't need paredit. Do I have
that right?
Thanks,
Nick
PS. The ultimate *reference* for emacs lisp is the Emacs Lisp Reference
manual
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/index.html
At some point in one's emacs-lisp programming life, it will be necessary
to refer to it - but it is very much a reference manual, not a tutorial.

No, even for emacs-lisp code blocks I use C-c ' to edit the code in
emacs-lisp mode. I do have "[" and "]" globally bound to
`insert-parenthesis' and `move-past-close-and-reindent' respectively,
but that's probably a little too radical for most users.
I only enable paredit minor-mode in lispy modes.

Not quite,
Paredit has a number of nice features aside from sexp movement,
including /electric/ insertion of both open and close parenthesis,
brackets and quotation's which greatly increase the speed with which one
can write lisp code -- all the while ensuring that the code in the
buffer is /valid/ in terms of balanced parenthesis.

Hi, Eric. I decided to draw schemes for functions in your module org-collector.el. And started from org-read-prop. Please, check my pdf file - my questions are marked with green. If there are no attachments allowed in the mailing list, you can get it here:
http://live-wtr.ru/org/org-collector.pdf
Can you explain, which function is called, when the user clicks C-c C-c on the line with #+BEGIN: propview? It's almost impossible to understand the complicated code of other programmer without a scheme. Did you see, how many questions emerged after I schematized just one simple function.
org-dblock-write:propview seems to be really hard.

`----
I wouldn't call it a flaw in the original check but a pragmatic
solution for the problem at this point. Ideally we want to check if
`prop' is a lisp expression so we can call `read' to return the
expression as lisp object. To achieve this we would need a function
that checks if the string `prop' is a valid s-expression[1]: Balanced
parentheses and valid lisp atoms. I am not an expert in regular
expressions but I think such a check can't be done with regexps but
requires an implementation of a lisp parser.
Example: (string-match "^'?(.*)$" "((foo baz)")) would return t but
"((foo baz)" is not a valid s-expression.
If we want (read prop) not to fail on an invalid s-exp but to threat
them as strings we can try to catch the error when executing `read':
,----
| (condition-case nil
| (read prop)
| (error prop))
`----
This would return the lisp object for `prop' if `prop' is a valid lisp
expression and the string `prop' otherwise (C-h f condition-case RET).
2/
,----
| 13. (progn (set-text-properties 0 (length prop) nil prop)
| 14. prop)))
`----
Setting the text-properties to nil indeed removes all
... text-properties, including colors. The `progn' is unnecessary
because the body of the else clause is not limited to one lisp
expression (C-h f if RET).
HTH,

I modified the scheme and the function. I think, that these 2 if-s just complicate the code for comprehension: we have 3 cases,
for each of them we should return the appropriate value.
Here is my variant of the function, including the fix, that you suggested:
(defun org-read-prop (prop)
"Convert the string property PROP to a number if appropriate.
Otherwise if prop looks like a list (meaning it starts with a
'(') then read it as lisp, otherwise return it unmodified as a
string."
(if (and (stringp prop) (not (equal prop "")))
(let ((out (string-to-number prop)))
(if (equal out 0)
(cond
((or
(equal "(" (substring prop 0 1))
(equal "'" (substring prop 0 1)))
(condition-case nil
(read prop)
(error prop)))
((string-match "^\\(+0\\|-0\\|0\\)$" prop)
0)
(t
(set-text-properties 0 (length prop) nil prop)
prop))
out))
prop))
All the tests work fine with the new version.
When I tried
(org-read-prop "(1 2 3))") -> (1 2 3)
It gave me (1 2 3), ignoring the last ')'. Seems to be the read function bug.
At last I got rid of these nasty little squares on the scheme :)

Yes, `cond' is more suitable here.

Not sure if it is a bug or the indended behavior. `read' returns the
first valid lisp expression in finds. E.g.
(read "(a b c) foo bar") => (a b c)
I think this is good enough at this place. A complete solutation
would require to parse the entire string.

:D
Of course the next step for you would be to tame the beast called git
and prepare a proper patch. The steps are:
1. create a topic branch for the fix
2. change the function, commit to topic branch and provide a proper
commit message
(http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.php#sec-4)
3. create a patch against current master
4. send the patch manually or using git send-email
Best,
