+- Q1: Sorry if you already answered this somewhere (but if not, can
+ someone with a reddit account copy this over? thx). Hi, I would love
+ to move my team over to using something org-based, but that'll
+ never happen because, well... (wait for it) Emacs! By the way, I'm
+ currently using heavily customized Sphinx setup, mostly internal,
+ sometimes shared with data partners; lots of schema-gen from message
+ protocols defined in code, etc. Anyhow: questions. Do you work with
+ non-Emacs users? If so, how did you get them to accept this
+ workflow? And if it's just you DJ'ing, how do they weigh in when
+ they want an update, open a formal ticket?

- Have you encountered any push-back from people requesting the documentation who are of the opinion that only a Word document will do?
- Jan: Not really, I tend to deliver the PDFs only. If more is needed, I expect I'd make a docker container with emacs in it, so people can export the org-file to PDF themselves.
- The main problem I have is that effectively they end up branching it in order to use Word's change tracking, and there is no reverse path.

- I use restclient everyday, but never thought about using it from code blocks, duh! Very interesting talk!
- This is a good demo, I've found org-babel to be a really amazing glue language for stuff that's sort of annoying to automate otherwise.
