Tips or a good guides sought after :) Hi all Im a young assistant professor (in humanities and thus my horrific coding skills..basically non ) and having been using orgmode for a year or two now. I love orgmode dearly and use it mainly for note taking, lists etc I am aware of the fantastic orgmode capabilities that could benefit me greatly such as exporting, email tie-ins, beamer support, organizing my bibliography (i have switched to a .bib file recently for my references), agenda capabilities and so much moreand have tried several of these with mild success. unfortunately (and this maybe due to me not being very technical and lack of coding skills) i still feel like im really not using orgmode to its potential and still feel miserably lost in terms of organizing my work in academia from all aspects. i am looking for 2 things really: 1. as i said in the post topic a good guide if anyone is aware of or detailed examples of using org in Academia (mainly aimed at faculty :)) 2. related to that as a young researcher with multiple students, paper writing, grant applications, department duties, endless TODOS, endless email i would really be grateful for even non org specific tips on how other people organize all this to make life more..well..organized :) thanks alot in advance and sorry for the long mail best Z Dear Xebar, I think the first 10 results of the correspondindg google search already show some very interesting examples:http://www.google.com/search? client=safarirls=enq=emacs+org-mode+in+resear chie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8 Did you have a look at those?

Re: [O] MobileOrg app not available in the Belgian App Store?
Hi Guido, I wanted to install the MobileOrg app on my iPhone, but iTunes claims that there is no such app in the Belgian App Store?! Did I miss something? did you go to, http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/ ? It looks like it's currently not available in the app store. At least in Germany I don't get it as well. And with that OS running on the smartphone there is little chance to get the app installed through a different channel. I wish I had my android back, unfortunately I work for an employer that constantly chooses mediocre tools. Cheers, Holger
[O] org-insert-link and partial-completion-mode incompatibility?
Hi, in emacs 23.3 with the org-mode release_7.5-421-ge734e I experience an incompatibility between org-insert-link and partial-completion-mode. org-insert-link in an org-mode buffer results in: Symbol's definition is void: t The trace back looks like Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function t) t(-1) org-icompleting-read(Link: ((http:) (https:) (ftp:) (mailto:;) (file:) (news:;) (shell:) (elisp:) (doi:) (message:) (file+sys:) (file+emacs:) (bbdb:) (bibtex:) (docview:) (gnus:) (info:) (irc:) (mew:) (mhe:) (rmail:) (vm:) (wl:)) nil nil nil tmphist nil) apply(org-icompleting-read (Link: ((http:) (https:) (ftp:) (mailto:;) (file:) (news:;) (shell:) (elisp:) (doi:) (message:) (file+sys:) (file+emacs:) (bbdb:) (bibtex:) (docview:) (gnus:) (info:) (irc:) (mew:) (mhe:) (rmail:) (vm:) (wl:)) nil nil nil tmphist nil)) org-completing-read(Link: ((http:) (https:) (ftp:) (mailto:;) (file:) (news:;) (shell:) (elisp:) (doi:) (message:) (file+sys:) (file+emacs:) (bbdb:) (bibtex:) (docview:) (gnus:) (info:) (irc:) (mew:) (mhe:) (rmail:) (vm:) (wl:)) nil nil nil tmphist nil) org-insert-link(nil) call-interactively(org-insert-link nil nil) Deactivating partial-completion-mode let me insert the link with no problems. Then it looks like org-insert-link doesn't call org-completing-read at all. Using the org version that comes with emacs 23.3 doesn't exhibit this behaviour. Kind regards, Holger
Re: [O] org and microsoft exchange
Hi, I was thinking of trying to get org and microsoft exchange talking to each other via soap-client.el and exchange web services (ews). Ultimately it would be nice to have a route into the corporate world of exchange, outlook, entourage, and blackberry where so many of us are forced to live. My first goal is to link org TODOs to exchange tasks in some simplistic way that allows two-way syncing. If that proves feasible, perhaps calendar items could be next. Does this sound useful? If anyone with elisp or web services programming experience is interested in lending a hand, I am sure to need some help. +1. My institution is moving to MS Live, whatever that means (I really am completely ignorant of the MS world, for better or for worse). I think this is somehow related to Exchange etc. so any type of integration with org would be greatly helpful for me! At first, all I care about is one way transfer, from the MS world to org but obviously two way syncing would be good. In my case, it's more about calendar events than tasks. My tasks are typically for my information only but meetings etc involve multiple people. I can try to help in due course. We haven't moved to the MS system yet so I cannot yet say how much I will be able to contribute. Keep me in the loop! One open source project that implements a pretty impressive interface to exchange is http://davmail.sourceforge.net Maybe you can get hints on how to deal with the ideosycrasies of MS coding from there. Unfortunately I cannot use this, and your proposed solution, since my Exchange server is behind an RSA-Token-secured gateway. I'm planning to use the org-outlook protocol http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/org-outlook.el even if this means that I need to have an Outlook-instance running. Good luck! Holger
[Orgmode] Re: export html - doc
Hi Eric, I know this is an awfully tired topic, and I'll be thrilled when the odt exporter is ready, but in the meantime exporting to HTML and then either opening or copying/pasting into OpenOffice is not working for me, while it does seem to be working for other people. I'm on Ubuntu, Emacs 23.3 and yesterday's org-mode. I export to html just fine. Then I figure I have two options: open the html directly with OpenOffice, or copy and paste the text. Opening the html directly just shows me an unrendered html document. Copying and pasting into OpenOffice turns all the italics into funny little grey boxes (one on either side of the meant-to-be-italics text), and no actual italics. Did you try to suppress the xml declaration in the exported html? #+OPTIONS: org-export-html-xml-declaration (quote ((php . ?php echo \?xml version=\\\1.1\\\ encoding=\\\%s\\\ ?\; ?))) At least MS-Word and Chromium don't seem to like that xml version line and refuse to render the document.

[Orgmode] Re: What WebDAV service do you use for syncing org files?
Hi Jeff, Well, I just answered my own question as far as getting MobileOrg to work... I just set the WebDAV directory to a local directory within Dropbox. I thought it had to be WebDAV (like that would make a difference). I'm still interested to know what everyone uses to sync working files, though. I've got my Android rooted and have a ssh server running there. Then I use the following hooks to run the scp command to copy the files back and forth. (setq org-mobile-post-push-hook '(lambda () (shell-command scp ~/org/mobile/*.org magic_home:/sdcard/stage) )) (setq org-mobile-pre-pull-hook '(lambda () (shell-command scp magic_home:/sdcard/mobileorg/mobileorg.org /home/hw/org/mobile) ) ) So my org files never leave my network and all traffic is encrypted. There is an ftp-server available for Android phones that should let you do similar things, if you didn't root your phone.

[Orgmode] Re: What WebDAV service do you use for syncing org files?
Hi Jeff, There is an ftp-server available for Android phones that should let you do similar things, if you didn't root your phone. My phone is *so* rooted. Like the first thing I did after unboxing. The Verizon crapware was so annoying! I've got my Android rooted and have a ssh server running there. I have a terminal emulator (I think it was installed with BusyBox). Did your terminal come with an ssh server, or did you hack it in? Any pointers or walkthroughs would be appreciated. I have a HTC Magic, and use the Cyanogenmod ROM. There the ssh daemon dropbear is included. It is just a matter to set it up. A google search on $YOUR_PHONE android dropbear should tell you, if this sshd daemon is running you your device as well.

[Orgmode] Re: MobileOrg for Android...issues
Hi C64Wiz, Also, I selected to store the .org files on my SD card. Is there a way I can *manually* copy org files to the SD card (just need a location really) so that I can at least read/reference them? I don't have a need to edit/capture at this point, but would like to at least view them. you can always set up your own webdav server. I briefly used nginx (nginx.org) a full blown web server, there is an apache module for serving the webdav protocol and there is pywebdav http://code.google.com/p/pywebdav/ Holger ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: MobileOrg for Android...issues
I do have my own WebDav server (Apache mod) but I'm a security guy so I only allow https. Bad http, bad. :) Even in your own private network? My setup was to have the webdav server only visible in my home wlan and then sync the phone against that. Holger ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: [mobileorg] Androiｄ sync failed
Hi Torsten, I just got my new android based phone (HTC Desire) and the very first thing I'm interesting in getting my org-based brainswap onto the android. I installed Mats mobileorg program for android (btw., I hate the word app, sorry ;) ) version 0.4 Alpha I followed the manuals and howtos, however, I can't get it to sync. I am aware that the url needs to contain the /index.org part. For first test I set-up a account on mydisk.se. I rewrote the password and login name several times. I noticed that a wrong passwort directly send me a sync failed whereas for the correct password it needs some seconds to come up with the same error message. Thus, I think the login into webdav works out correct. I can log-in via a direct webdav client on my android. Thus. technically it should be ok. I tried several different org-files from very complex to just very simple (one link to another file, which contains a single header). I played around with the file permissions but without success. Is there any thing else I could check? How could I get more details on what actually failed. Is there a way to get more output via the usb debugging function? Any ideas are greetly welcome. I use mydrive.ch,. I have the index.org file at the top-level directory there and have on my android phone the URL in the Connectivity settings http://webdav.mydrive.ch/index.org; I remember having to fiddle a little until I got it working - but nothing bad.
