Re: Adding new package org-menu to nongnu elpa

[Jan Rehders]

Yes the name is a good point. I don’t mind renaming it but I’m not sure to what. org-transient has been proposed but that one might just have the same issue. Proposals are very welcome! 

I’ve written a mail to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org ("Contributing org-menu (using transient) to Orgmode?”). Lets put adding this this on hold until that discussion finishes

Hello Jan,

A Transient menu system for Org is definitely needed.  Have you discussed this on the Org mailing list?  Now that Transient is built in to Emacs, this is a feature that ought to be built in to Org.  And it ought to be standardized and modularized so that it can (eventually) be expanded and adapted to all parts of Org.

As well, I have a minor concern about the name: org-menu is so obviously the right name for the feature, that having it as a package on (non-) GNU ELPA would present a conflict, preventing Org from implementing the feature internally under that name.

So it would seem best if you could contribute the package upstream to Org; it could be an example and foundation for this work to grow on.

What do you think?
