Re: [O] emacs & org mode for scholars questions

[John Kitchin]

Cool! Thanks for the shout out to org-ref!

my jmax starter package (http://github.com/jkitchin/jmax) is basically
designed for the last point you described. I use it with students (41
this semester!) as a standalone "package". It isn't as polished as
prelude or others, but it allows them to do things like I do out of the
box.

The conference sounds like it was fun! Best wishes,
