Hello
So what I wanted to discuss was the possibility for a MobileOrg to create new files from its phone and keep them synched.
Currently the list of synched files is a file called "
index.org" stored in the synch folder and Emacs and MobileOrg use ite for pulling changes. However everytime Emacs pushes a changes, it overwrites this file. Because for pushing, Emacs use a second list of files, the variable 'org-agenda-files and it will recreate a new
index.org based on org-agenda-files content. To conclude, if MobileOrg had added a file to synch in
index.org, it will be removed from the list after next Emacs push.
So my suggestion is for Emacs to stop using org-agenda-files to generate the list of synched file but use the currently existing
index.org. In case
index.org does not exist (for eg. at repo initialization), then org-agenda-files can be used to create it.
To be honest, after a lot of reflexion, I think more and more about using a external synch mechanism (such as git) instead of using org-mobile.el. A positive point would be to allow non-Emacs people to use MobileOrg with synchronization. So I may not even use my own suggestion but I still think it is worth to mention this "incoherence".

I read your mail from a month ago. Unfortunately, I don't know enough of
this library to be useful to the discussion.

It is part of Org core, so anyone with write access to repository can
maintain it. The current maintainer is Bastien Guerry, who reads this
list. IOW, you can discuss the changes here.
