I have a possibly completely useless idea regarding "automatically" checking regressions. As far I understand the problem now is its not very feasible to do automated tests with what ever test suite we have (or will have after the improvements) and see the exported results for each patch, as at some step it involves human intervention (as in, was the export good). So maybe we can have a directory on the Worg website (not part of the Worg git repo) where every week or so the test suites will publish with what ever the org-mode head is at the time for all the supported formats. Then us "puny lisp illiterate" users can check up on it over the course of the week and report back to the list if there is a problem. Since this way people can look at the export formats they are interested in, none of the formats get treated like a step child either. Would that be feasible? Or did I completely misunderstand the problem at hand? -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
