i'm reading the FAQ, section about upgrading org, and it's not clear
what one would do in the following situation.
i'm running ubuntu 12.04 and in emacs running "M-x org-version" i
get, "version 6.33x". however, ubuntu has a separate org-mode package
and, after installing that package via "apt-get install" and
restarting emacs, i get "version 7.8.02".
that seems to work fine. if that's an acceptable way to upgrade
org, that should probably be mentioned in the FAQ -- that you might
just be able to do a standard, distro-specific install of whatever
represents the org-mode package and emacs will pick it up
automatically.
just an observation.

p.s. also curious about the advice here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mixed-install
in both cases above, when i asked for "org-version", i didn't get any
"release" info in parentheses. all i saw was:
"Org-mode version x.y.z"
which might confuse a reader expecting to see release information.
again, just another observation.
