Hi Eric,

Thanks for the additional info. I'll keep you informed on my progress---I'll be presenting my "paper" for the Lisp Games Expo (see http://dto.github.com/notebook/2010expo.html

About linking from the Uses section on the babel page... Should I make a page for the program, or can you just link to my current repo? Either way, it's not quite ready for being on the webpage :) but I see it as a discussion topic here.

Do others have thoughts or experiences with multimedia and babel or org?

This looks like a good start, you could look to ob-clojure.el for an
example of a slime-driven lisp Babel file.

That looks like a great application for literate programming.  It might
be nice to link to this project from the Babel uses page at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/uses.php

Babel in general is in need of some language-specific introductory
tutorials, with the goal of laying out the basic usage plenty of
examples covering simple use case e.g.
- author a shell script which can be tangled out to an executable
- simple processing of data in tables, or execution of code blocks with
 the output captured in the buffer

There is also plenty of room for help with documentation, testing,
etc...

Thanks! -- Eric
