This is indeed good news. Here are some concerns that I would like to address compared to the current exporter. - Operating with pauses are overly hard. One can specify overlays in properties, but <n> is just not very convenient, as I may have to introduce a new number j<n. I prefer the pause, but it does not feel 'natural' in the current org-beamer (IMO). - A lot of beamer features rely on being typed in-between frames. Currently, one needs non-orgish hacks to archive this (at least the last time I investigated the issue). - E.g. stuff for article mode, notes etc. - I kind of like the block approach, but mainly because it's fast due to org-beamer-select-environment. I would be open to changes, as long as it remains quick. Eric's concern on moving stuff quickly is valid, though. - My main problem with blogs is that it forces me to have everything on slides, and I don't always want that. - In the current implementation of org-beamer it's hard for me to fully utilize the beamer-article mode, i.e. typing the presentation as an article. Perhaps the issue is solvable by using multiple files and including them into each other; or perhaps it is simply asking too much of Org. Thanks for putting effort into this! -Ramsus -- May the Force be with you
