Re: [Orgmode] Elsevier's "Executable Paper Grand Challenge"

[Joost Helberg]

Bill,

An org-file instance on a virtual machine based on GNU/Linux and other
open source stuff doesn't limit any redistribution and will always run
on the right host. The host architecture is the only limitation then.

One issue with org-mode and babel is the necessary availability of all
tools called by the babel-lines. Publishing a VM File with all tools
installed as the container of a scientific document solves this.

January 15th is a bit close though.

regards,

Joost
