Isn't that why we discuss on mailing lists, so that people can jump in

Actually, I am working on a workflow for large writing projects, my PhD
thesis in this case :-p. What I have in mind is have a Makefile based
build system that uses `emacs --batch' to export to LaTeX and html. The
images are generated separately using babel blocks or standalone TeX
files with TikZ code. I intend to make pdf images for LaTeX and convert
them to png/svg with imagemagick/inkscape. Of course all of this is
still a pipe dream; if I get it working, I'll definitely write a Worg
page on it. Of course it will be great if people with interesting ideas
pitch in :). I expect to have an early working environment in a couple
of months.
