[O] Feedback on org-collector Worg page

[John Hendy]

I'm happy to do the updating that might come out of these comments.
Org-collector was recently mentioned on the mailing list and I took a
second to play with it a bit by following the page on Worg.
-- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-collector.html

The location of the src table was not specified in the article. I
found out after a bit of trial and error that the org-collector block
will search only the previous headline and any children. Thus, one
needs to be careful where the org-collector block is. To use the
example on Worg, someone might create their financial tracker document
like so:

----------
* Statistics
[bunch of org-collector blocks]

* Raw Data
** Jan Purchases
** Feb Purchases
** Etc.
----------

This would not work, as the org-collector blocks are only looking in
the "* Statistics" headline. This is probably worth mentioning on Worg
if I'm correct (again, I'm happy to do this). Either that, or perhaps
the scope of the headlines searched could be changed if others find
this undesirable. Or I've totally botched and don't have the right
understanding and this is all a false alarm! :)

Secondly, I was attempting to use this on my contacts.org file and
kept getting errors. Probably a bad first start for a guinea pig file.
I finally narrowed down that my :Phone: property in the form "(xxx)
xxx.xxxx" was causing the error. It seems that properties with
parentheses cause org-collector to try and run it as a function. If I
add a property to the example file (call it "foo") and give it the
value "(test)", I get the error on C-c C-c "(void-function test)".

Comments?
