Hi Michael,
thanx for the good words about org-index !
And yes all those packages are earlier Versions of org-index :-/
However, I did not try to cover my traces that way, but rather tried to find a
name,
that at first glimpse gives an idea of this packages purpose ...
Now, org-index is a good fit, I think and I will not change its name again.
Regarding your upgrade path, I think you can easily switch from org-favtable to
org-index,
only that you should rename org-favtable-id into org-index-id within your .emacs
As far as I can deduce from the version history which is contained in
org-index.el,
you do not need to convert your index-table; it will work unchanged with
org-index.
(please tell me, if there are unexpected problems !)
Finally as for the piled up confusion of having several packages with different
names.
I need help from the org-mode elders in cleaning this up, because I do not have
commit-bit for org,
only for worg.
What should be done is this:
The only package that should be retained is org-index.el all others
(org-reftable.el, org-favtable.el
and org-refer-by-number.el) can simply be removed in favour of org-index.el,
the latest version of which
resides in worg.
Now, if the last paragraph passes unnoticed for some days, I will send out a
note directly to someone,
asking to help me clean up :-)
Thanx for your feedback and best regards !

Hello,
I'm using org-reftable.el [1] from the contrib path of the Git
repository since several months. It is a useful addition to integrate
my personal archive of notes, data sheets, and pages that I tore out of
journals into Org Mode documents.
Now that I wanted to refine this system, I stumbled across the other
packages mentioned in the subject. It seems that they are all revisions
of the same project from Marc Ihm. IIUC, org-index.el is the newest
version that was preceded by org-favtable.el, org-reftable.el, and
org-refer-by-number.el. Currently we have org-favtable.el and
org-reftable.el in the contrib path whilst org-index.el is only
available via Worg [2].
Marc, could you please clarify this confusion? Anyway, thank you for
sharing this add-on!
Best regards
Michael Strey
