Mojn Tom,
I'm pretty invested in KOMA-Script but this is a great as a lot of
people really appreciate the Tufte package.

I've cobbled together an exporter for the Tufte LaTeX classes,

My initial beef with your code it that it seems, from skimming the
code, to replicate a lot of functions from ox-latex. This means
that when ox-latex.el updates, we might have to backport the
changes into ox-tufte-latex. It’s already some work keeping
ox-beamer and ox-latex up to date (e.g. I added a some feature to
ox-latex and only realized much later that I hadn’t added it to
ox-beamer).
E.g. org-tufte-latex--inline-image is very much alike
org-latex--inline-image.
I don’t know to what extend it would be possible to minimize
replication. Perhaps you already did this and perhaps my comments
are merely following from the fact that I did not study your patch
appropriately (I’m traveling ATM).
Another question is, what features would we need to make more
flexible in ox-latex in order to obsolete your class or reduce it
to an element in org-latex-classes? Is there some areas where
it’s lacking for the purpose of "tufing" ox-latex output?
In any I’m very happy that you are working on this. I hope the
above is not discouraging; that’s at least not what it’s meant to
be.
Thanks,
Rasmus
