Hi Ian, Thanks for getting this started. I have been collecting a list of org babel issues and worg is definitely a better place to put them than in one big email. Since there are so many different features that a babel language implementation can support I don't want to try to put them all in one table quite yet but I think it may be helpful to do so eventually. Until that time does it make sense to add new sections to the file that cover specific features? For example I have tests on TRAMP support and/or support for execution via a remote session that I would like to add from my internal notes. Can I add it as a new section? Best! Tom
