I haven't looked at the code yet but would it make sense for your new mode just being renamed to "org-bullet" instead? Do you expect that some current users won't want to update? If you want to stick with creating a new mode, are there any bug fixes that you could backport to "org-bullet"? > However, since the mode still contains code snippets from org-bullets, I > have tried to contact the original author (sabof) of the package in the > hopes of getting an official approval before making the thing public. > The problem with /that/ however is that the author has been inactive for > several years now, with the package being maintained by Jonas Bernoulli, > who I did not yet contact. I don't actually use it myself and just enable it temporarily if someone reports a bug or something. It's not that I am not interested in something like this package, but from the sound of it I would rather use your package than the old "org-bullet". If I remember correctly it, then it took some effort to contact sabof, but eventually they gave their blessing. Jonas
