Bill, An org-file instance on a virtual machine based on GNU/Linux and other open source stuff doesn't limit any redistribution and will always run on the right host. The host architecture is the only limitation then.
One issue with org-mode and babel is the necessary availability of all tools called by the babel-lines. Publishing a VM File with all tools installed as the container of a scientific document solves this. January 15th is a bit close though. regards, Joost >>>>> "Bill" == Bill White <bi...@wolfram.com> writes: > Subject: [Orgmode] Elsevier's "Executable Paper Grand Challenge" > From: Bill White <bi...@wolfram.com> > To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > Date: Tue, 07 Dec 2010 13:26:01 -0600 > In light of recent paper by Davison, Dominik, Dye and Schulte, this > sounds like something org-mode could address: > http://www.executablepapers.com > There is a USD 10000 first-place award. > Executable Paper Grand Challenge is a contest created to improve the > way scientific information is communicated and used. > It asks: > How can we develop a model for executable files that is compatible > with the user’s operating system and architecture and adaptable to > future systems? > How do we manage very large file sizes? > How do we validate data and code, and decrease the reviewer’s > workload? > How to support registering and tracking of actions taken on the > ‘executable paper?’ > The purpose of the Executable Paper Challenge is to invite scientists > to put forth their ideas pertaining to these pressing and unsolved > questions. > See http://www.executablepapers.com for more information, deadlines, etc. > Cheers - > bw > -- > Bill White . bi...@wolfram.com . http://members.wolfram.com/billw > "No ma'am, we're musicians." > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode -- Snow B.V. http://snow.nl
