One thing I want to mention---people get you and I confused because our websites look almost exactly the same. Maybe one of us should make a few tweaks to the CSS, otherwise people will keep sending org.el bug reports to me :-) > This is why I tink it would be great to have more tutorials. > There are several areas where a step-by-step tutorial, > with lots of screen shots in the way David wrote his > could be easily made. I used a bit of elisp to make the screenshot process easier. It makes numbered screenshots using ImageMagick (i.e. the "import" command.) You may need to tweak things for your system.

I could probably do one of these, especially in regard to Eon. A big part of the Eon idea is to make some really interesting things happen with large databases of many org-mode files, which have embedded lisp data. I am building a sort of annotation system that can read various org-mode data/properties/timestamps as well as embedded lisp data in an Eon-specific format. This is the further development of the Linkd and CellMode ideas and I'm pretty excited about it. Hey Carsten, it would be interesting to hear your feedback on the ideas written up at http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/Eon.html There is some working code, but not quite usable yet... -- David O'Toole dto@gnu.org http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/
