Yes, lack of sufficient time is very much my limiting factor as well.
I'm looking forward to an extended Christmas break -- after finals --
when I should be able to start to catch up with these accumulating
development tasks.

Please don't let my flippant reply above make you feel obligated to
learn elisp.  I really do enjoy performing this development myself when
I have time.

I'm intrigued.  Tom Dye has been good enough to start an
org-babel-uses.org file demonstrating some example uses of org-babel.
It is currently available in the Worg git repository at

org-contrib/babel/org-babel-uses.org

however for some reason it isn't surviving the html publication process.
Most likely this is due to the baroque combination of interacting
source-code blocks lurking in the file.

I look forward to your unveiling! -- Eric
