Hi Jeff,
If there is a programming language that you're somewhat comfortable
with, then these sorts of slightly more complicated table tasks are one
of the reasons that org-babel[1] was written.
Personally I would reach for R first for a task like this:
#+tblname: table-data
| 2010-03-01 | 12.2 | foo |
| 2010-03-02 | 11.5 | foo |
| 2010-03-02 | 12.6 | bar |
| 2010-03-03 | 10.2 | foo |
#+begin_src R :var x=table-data :colnames yes
t(sapply(split(x[[2]], x[[3]]), sum))
#+end_src
#+results:
| bar | foo |
|--+--|
| 12.6 | 33.9 |
This was the most concise solution I came up with, plus you get the tag
names. In case you're comfortable with R, python or elisp, as a starting
point I've pasted blocks below that demonstrate the data structure that
your table is turned into in each of those languages.

[Orgmode] "%3f" shouldn't be unescaped in HTTP URLs
Quoting from Debian bug #573186[0]: Some HTTP URLs have literal '?' in them. Since '?' also separates the path from query arguments, it needs to be escaped in the first case. These are examples of the two cases: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf%3F (literal '?') - http://www.google.com/search?q=org+mode (query separator) These are the URLs generated by Org mode when exporting them to HTML: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf? - http://www.google.com/search?q=org+mode I.e. '?' is left as is, but '%3f' is unescaped, producing the wrong URL (don't be fooled by the fact that Wikipedia actually accepts it ;) ). This makes impossible to correctly export an HTTP URL with a literal question mark in it. The solution would be to leave '%3f' as is, too, in the same way as '%27' has been left as is in the previous example. What do you guys think ?

However, its resizing the second graph > (NonFloweringBoxplot/pdf) and not affecting the first graph. This > works on other files, so I am really at a loss here. Hi Graham, We can see what's going on here by executing the block manually with C-c C-c, which transforms your results block from this: #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=10cm #+results: BoxplotFlowering [[file:FloweringBoxplot.pdf]] into this: #+results: BoxplotFlowering [[file:FloweringBoxplot.pdf]] #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=10cm (The reason is that the results block corresponding to the code block is first deleted and then re-inserted immediately below the code block). You are using ':exports both' which means that the above transformation actually occurs during export, but in a special pre-export org buffer which the user never sees. The fact that the ATTR_LaTeX line ends up last explains why it modifies the *second* block. Thanks for pointing this out -- we will revisit this behaviour as it does seem surprising and on the face of it undesirable. As a workaround, is it necessary for you to execute the block on export? Or could you instead use :exports code? I.e. before export, execute the block manually and ensure that the #+ATTR_LaTeX and #+results lines are arranged in the correct way.

coming up with a sexier color scheme. The appearance of org on
the main page of orgmode.org is very spartan and can be a turn
off for newbies who are used to applications with a more
elaborate visual design.
I think a better choice of default colors could improve the first
impression a bit. Maybe people could send to the list screenshots
of their config and one of the better ones could be used as a new
default.
The problem I see here is that if a new user downloads Emacs,
it will have white background and only default colors.
I could of course make the screenshot on orgmode.org with my
color scheme[1], but then new users would not like the first
impression they get when they download emacs and install Org.
I am interested in a discussion about how to handle this issue.

[1] The color scheme is based on the scheme by Peter Jones, who
in particular came up with the idea to make the TODO keywords look
like buttons. I use that idea, but with different colors. The
exact colors were not my creation, because I am really not
talended
in this area. But I agree they look great - they were selected
by the same designer who created the special logo used on all
our spreadshirt shop items...
