+# Discussion
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Not a question, but just a great thanks for \"This month in org\"
+ which helps us get awareness about the greatness of Org!
+ - A:Thanks :)
+- Q: Does the project need other kinds of support (infrastructre,
+ etc.) which can\'t be covered by donations to devs? (without
+ detriment to supporting devs!!)
+ - A: There isn\'t much in terms of ongoing costs (just hosting
+ <https://orgmode.org> really), but donations are great for
+ dignifying the work done, indicating the value it has to the
+ community, motivating developers, and also helping
+ justify/enable more time to be spent working on Org.
+- Q: What is the use of parsers in other languages? Is it to make org
+ available in other applications?
+ - A:Org is being used outside Emacs (e.g. Hugo, Logseq, rendering
+ on GitHub/GitLab/Gitea), and so it\'s worth trying to make sure
+ they treat the syntax in a consistent manner. Similarly, if
+ people build nice tools for Org outside Emacs, that\'s nice for
+ us :)
+ - Voit: Shameless plug:
+ <https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/README.org>
+ is also an idea to promote the syntax of Org mode in tools
+ outside of Emacs. After all, everybody is getting advantages
+ when Orgdown (syntax of Org mode; often named \"org\" but it\'s
+ frequently mixed up with the Elisp implementation) is a rather
+ popular syntax.
+- Q: citar package is a really pleasant addition with support for
+ org-style citations. What\'s your take?
+ - A: Citar is great, IMO
+- Q: How many hours a week do you spend contributing to org?
+ - A: It varies a lot. It\'s also a bit difficult to say, because
+ there have been a fair few patch sets which have been
+ \"incubated\" in my config before brining them to Org mode, and
+ so I need to detangle \"time spent tinkering on Org in my
+ config\" and \"time spent working on patches for Org mode\".
+ Some weeks it\'s \~0h, others it might be as much as \~30h. The
+ average might sit around \~5h, but that\'s just a wild guess.
+- Q: As a fan of emacs org-mode and Julia myself too, do you see any
+ possiblities/wishes/plans to somehow connect org and julia evenmore
+ (apart from ob-julia). Perhaps a julia parser of org-mode, or
+ something like that?  Just wanna personally thank you for all the
+ effort in org, emacs and julia you are putting throughout! I have
+ learned quite a bit about doom emacs config from your blogs too. I
+ feel like our setup/interest overlaps quite a bit, and its always
+ helpful too see your work out there. Thanks again, keep up the great
+ work!
+ - A: Wait a few slides 😉 (<https://github.com/tecosaur/Org.jl>)
+- Q: \"Org\", \"Org-mode\", \"org-mode\", \"Org/Org-mode\"? Which one
+ for the format/notation and which one for the software proper, and
+ then the whole thing (with org-contrib and third-party packages) vs
+ just the repo and major mode per se?
+ - A: \"Org mode\" for the project, \"org-mode\" for the major
+ mode, \"Org\" for the format
+- Q: How much time/week do you spend editing your doom config?
+ - A: Err, too much 😆 
+ - I feel that :D
+- Q:In your doom configs, you like using variables fonts and stuff,
+ basically a lot visuals everywhere. I feel that it makes everything
+ sluggish. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe there are less visible
+ tricks in your config?
+ - A: It doesn\'t make things slow enough that I care, basically.
+ Doom does some nice performance stuff, and I try to go for
+ deferred loading and look for text-properties over overlays for
+ performance in visual packages. As for varaible pitch fonts
+ look, that\'s handled by Harfbuzz not elisp AFAIK (and so
+ doesn\'t really affect performance).
+- Q: Do you use linux or mac system? What kinds if not a secret?Q
+ - Linux, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed specifically
