Yes, I saw the presentation and the idea seems nice. However it would be nice if the code could be put under public scrutiny regardless of its current state. For instance, Semantic(part of CEDET in the Emacs core) implements on the fly parse tree generators for a number of languages and it also has proof of concept support for emacs outlines, of which org is a descendant. So it would be nice to know if the org parser re-uses Semantic or if it chooses another path. If Semantic was used we could also use SRecode as a template language to implement other formats. I could certainly use it in my application. Even if the new org parser doesn't reuse the parser part of semantic, Wisent, we could probably still hook it into Semantic. Anyway, we are all busy so it would be nice to reduce wasted effort. -- Joakim Verona
