\o/ Can I squeeze a last minute request? Allow to login to http://demo.hyperfiddle.net for users who don't have a Google account.

In any case, I love the idea. Looking forward!

bzg··on OLPC’s $100 laptop was going to change the world
OLPC is certainly history now and Sugar Labs, while still active, is struggling to keep Sugar relevant.

We at OLPC France started https://sugarizer.org : a HTML/JS rewrite of Sugar. Real-time collaboration on pedagogical activities, the journal to browse past activities, all this in plain HTML/JS.

Contributions are welcome!

bzg··on Org-Mode for Visual Studio Code
Very nice! Congrats for this.

In GNU Emacs, Org is both a plain text format and a set of tools to edit .org files: it's nice to see both implemented outside Emacs!

There was https://github.com/hsitz/VimOrganizer/ but it's inactive since 2014. Maybe there is a more recent one that I'm not aware of.
bzg··on Org mode 9.0 released
I do read this thread, and I'm very receptive to the "oh-no-please-dont-break-backward-compatibility-again" complaints.

The best course of action is (1) to try to find help on the mailing list for new functions to ease the migration to the new syntactic rules (there is one already in the release notes) and (2) to raise your voice on the mailing list and support those who share the same view.

I've been a release manager for 9.0, not the real maintainer, so things may have slipped in directions I didn't have time to carefully review. If I manage to get involved again as a real maintainer, I will enforce syntactic stability and backward compatibility as much as possible.

Funny, I stumble upon this documentary while I'm reading http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/feb/11/the-che... - which I highly recommend.

"I think we have an opportunity to come up with better models for creative people than exploitative contracts with publishers."

Agreed. Maybe I'm extrapolating, but I think there is the same need for creative people who build free softwares today.

Emacs loves diversity. As a dinner.

This is it, thanks. Beautiful, but too bad there is no easy way to deactivate it.

Actually, I'm also on the "less configuration, less trouble" side. That's why I like some minor mode to let me get rid of what I don't want to see, sometimes.

Oh, nice mode-line! I can't figure out how to get the theme from your repo, any hint?
