Neat links from Paul Harper, who couldn't participate in the voice chat: I am writing in to share my ‘discovery of the week' which was J. Alexander Branham's Blog and his dotemacs on Github. He is a PhD Candidate at UT-Austin in the Department of Government. He has some very good posts on using Emacs for Markdown, LaTeX and R for academic types. It complements Kiern Healy's one for Social Scientists, and Vikas Rawal's Orgpaper.

Hi guys, if you only want to collaborate on text files, you can use Floobits for that -- it hooks up to emacs, and a bunch of other editors: https://floobits.com/ I haven't rigorously tested it with key mashing, which is where a lot of collboration tools fail, but it says it uses operational transformation so hopefully it will be just fine.

About support for other blogging platform : I am using https://plugins.getnikola.c...
There is also https://github.com/redguard...

I'm new to emacs and I'd like to know how to make a cheat sheet. Where would I start looking to bind a hotkey to opening up some org file in a new window on the right side?

Hi Jason! Maybe something like this?

(defun my/show-cheat-sheet ()
(interactive)
(find-file-other-window "~/notes.org"))
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9>") 'my/show-cheat-sheet)

This doesn't guarantee it shows up on the right side, but it should show up in some other window. If you want it to show up on the right, you might consider looking into split-window-horizontally. Good luck!

Thank-you much for the fast reply Sacha!

No problem, so what is the best way to know the date of your future session ?
