I LOVE IT! This is saving me tons of time already, compared to: - Writing the slide content - Outline-formatting in open office impress - Re-outline-formatting in org (for my archive) - God-awful mouse-clicky formatting in impress - Failing to synchronize edits between the presentation and the org archive Mailing lists for software are full of complaints about things that aren't working or suggestions for improvement, so I wanted to take a minute to thank the people who worked on Beamer export for a spectacular tool (not to mention org in general -- my schedule is now complicated enough that I would be sunk without the calendar and to-do features). THANK YOU GOOD FOLKS!
