Really cool. org-mode just keeps growing while still keeping its core simplicity. By far the biggest use I have now is as a simple journal logger! If I may, and just for the future, what I'd really like to see is a working org mode and google integration with gnus integration. Possibly via googlecl which I used yonks ago for a googlecl based blogger.com blog facility direct from org-files (still working well enough and is in github (org-googlecl). I know there are some proofs of concept already there but performance and usability were pretty rudimentaty. bbdb's days are pretty much up in this day of smartphone and "everyone integrates with google" ;) This integration would obviously (!?!) integrate with google calendars which is then already well catered for on just about any mobile device.
