Is there any documentation any where about how people use Org-mode in collaborative authoring? I find myself not on solid ground understanding how to ensure that my colleagues have the same configuration. For now, I resort to entries in the local variables list, but this may not be the best solution.... One could hijack the directory locals, but that seems like The Wrong Thing --- we should leave that to the individual user for his/her preferences. Possibly set up something that would be layered, so that there are dir-locals that optionally load user-specific settings /after/ the dir-locals (i.e., a second layer of dir-locals)? Is anyone else trying to do stuff like this? best, r
