Hi list, I'm a long-time org user, and when I followed the development and release of org-babel with great interest. However, I never really used it, mainly because I never really found a use-case for me.
I noticed that there were a lot of messages regarding babel and publishing, but I've read a post other day that opened my eyes: org-babel can be actually used to create self-contained org-"systems", in other words, org files with elisp scripts that extend and add to org, and output stuff on the fly. I never tried org-babel, but this really excited me, I might play around with the idea more when I have the time. We could also use this thread for additional ideas on how org-babel could be used. Cheers, Marcelo.
