Re: [O] A mail client that is org-mode compatible
I use Wanderlust and can make links from org just fine. I used gnus from 2008 to 2010 but could not make it work as I wanted. It seemed to value some things that I didn't (e.g. scoring, splitting, NNTP-style everywhere) whereas it didn't shine in other areas I needed (e.g. multiple SMTP servers, usability). Wanderlust was working perfectly since the first moment, and didn't require hacking, just configuration. Wanderlust is primarily an e-mail reader (IMAP, POP, Maildir, MH, …) but it can read NNTP natively, and some people also read RSS with it: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/HOWTOReadFeedsInEmacsViaEmail So that's my bet.

If find the above a bit clumsy and repetitive, I just updated the

When this is the symbol `integrate', then integrate plain list
items when cycling, as if they were children of outline headings.

I agree -- but what's difficult is that documentation problems are
often mixed problems, about content *and* UI. And content can not
always alleviate the guesswork induced by unfamiliar UI.

[O] Need help with processing a text block with python function
I know this is kind of an org-mode 101 question, sorry, but after searching docs for a couple of days, I could use a pointer. I want to write a function in a code block in python or perl that steps through lines of text and does some complicated reformatting, adding in html bits and such, for a specialized application. Then I want to be able paste a block of text into an org-mode file and call this function to walk through it and do it's stuff, sending the result to an export buffer. What's the best way to do that, specifically, what should I do with the text to be processed? Put it all under a single headline and call the function against that headline? Put it within some sort of begin/end markers? I need the python or whatever script to be able to step through one line at a time maybe using it's usual text input functions.

[O] How to convert to odt with specific styles?
Hello list, I have an article I've written in Org. To submit it to the publisher, it needs to follow a particular ms word style template. I hope to achieve this with the odt exporter. Reading the org manual it seems the style sheet that the odt exporter uses will need to contain a couple of hard coded format names. In my case I would like map the org factory default format names to other names as defined in the template given to me by the publisher. What is simplest way to achieve this? At the moment I'm changing the formats by hand so nearly any other method would be more efficient. Also, I'm more proficient with elisp than wordprocessors. TIA -- Joakim Verona

Inventing a protocol to deal with synchronisation is not trivial, so a good starting point might be gitit or raw git with the intention of learning about what the real issues are before creating a system from scratch to solve what might not be the right problem to solve.

Although I prefer GNU/Linux by myself, at least the Mac software bundle of the Fujitsu is really worth the money. Its scanning and OCR features are just like you need, almost no hazzle with anything (except the awful bad idea to use JPEG as the only scanning format). Before the Fujitsu, I bought a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus which I am using as a (pretty decent) printer. Because the scanning hardware and software is *really* complicated/bad compared to the Fujitsu solution: reliability, usability, featureset, speed - BIG difference. I played around with Linux scanning/OCR solutions as well but I could not get any reasonable fast, reliable, and suitable OCR results at all :-( Note: The scan workflow on my Mac mini at home is more or less the only reason why I did not install GNU/Linux on this thing yet.

OCR > would be nice too to get a full searchable system. OCR ist a must, if you invest time and money in such a workflow. Except the killring thing, I do have a similar workflow: paper in scanner, press single button on the scanner, PDF (with OCR) appears on the Mac, I enter the filename (usually starting with -MM-DD... or -MM-DDThh.mm...), and it's done. Most things I keep in ~/archive// and some things I file in ~/institutions/COMPANYNAME/ Because of the date/time-stamp file name part, I can index all those files using my Memacs[1] file-name module very easily. Using a yasnippet/custom-Org-link combination, I can easily link to those files rather quickly. So much for the Org-mode related stuff :-) > CC.

Oh, you already did good research on this topic :-) If you try out the Mac SW bundle (I guess Windows is similar), you are not going to use Linux for this I am afraid :-) But if you do get different results and thus a workflow with GNU/Linux which is as smooth as the Mac one, I am *very* curious about your experience, notes, and lessons learned!

I happened to be thinking the same two days ago. I wanted a place for scripts to store data as key→value pairs: e.g. configurations, or observations (like: file count on ~). Normally I would use lots of small hidden files for that. Now I wanted a central registry. I thought of using some cache server, or a small NoSQL database, or a system monitor for observations (e.g. collectd), and of course, org-mode. In the end, I think I will stay with the many small files; it's much easier! > - In Python I have to parse a basic sub-set of Org-mode format > anyhow. An additional parser would be more work to do. Don't do it from scratch; there are already some parsers which work.

It's the most DB-like and it's analogous to storing data (well, strings). You don't need all the table benefits (reordering, exporting, formatting, formulae, …).

Of course, storing configuration in .org is very utopic (being all .org), but I would prefer *not* to do it. I would use a simple ~/.file.conf with some variables in the usual style: # a comment path=~/web/ # where to export images images=~/web/images I think this wins for usability and „friendly maintenance“, since people know it and it works. And it allows you to define many projects (e.g. check the configuration file for the program unison). There are even libraries to parse these simple files: http://docs.python.org/2/library/configparser.html And if you want to design an equivalent grammar for configuration files (beware! that's another adventure!), check http://augeas.net/ . It can manipulate configuration files in a format-agnostic way. But I think it's more important to center efforts in developing a good exporter web publisher. As you said, the current ones are not powerful enough. Good luck.

AFAIK, the only documentation is in the file ob-js.el. Back in 2011,
Eric Schulte welcomed patches to ob-js.el to support sessions with
node. I don't think there has been any subsequent work on this front.
You'll need something like this in .emacs:
(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((js . t)))
If you evaluate the following source code block, you can look at
localhost: and see Hello World. But, emacs is fully engaged until
you press Ctrl-G.
#+begin_src js :tangle hello.js
var http = require("http");
http.createServer(function(request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.write("Hello World");
response.end();
}).listen();
#+end_src
