I am happy to share with fellow Orgers my recent book — Ending Malnutrition: from commitment to action — published by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, Rome and Tulika Books, New Delhi (http://www.fao.org/3/a-i4921e.pdf), The book was written and produced entirely in Org.
This would not have been possible without the terrific support provided by this community. Over the last few months, I have come to this mailing list with several queries about how to do something or the other, and people have very patiently provided solutions and suggestions.
I would like to thank everyone for their patience and their support.

From acknowledgements of the book:
In addition, for all the statistical work and writing, the authors relied on R (www.r-project.org), org (www.orgmode.org), and LaTeX. All three are open source projects, freely made available by very vibrant communities of developers. During the course of the work, we often drew on support from these communities.
ADDEUNDUM:
The author just released the source code for the book!
By my idiosyncratic measures:
For small changes git diff and vc-diff are perfect.
For medium changes magit is perfect.
For large changes DeltaWalker is perfect.

Today I set up SAS UE on VMWare Fusion. Everything went fine.
It allowed 4 GB of RAM allocation.
Extracted archive to
mkdir ~/VMWare
Created the UE working directory
mkdir -p ~/git/github/sas/SASUniversityEdition/myfolders/
hello-world.sas.Setting up a development system is a non-trivial investment.
This document captures the steps required and automates as much as possible. The project has other formats, too.
The Style Guide is a must read for the operator.
Org-Mode converted this manual, tedious, and error prone task to a semi-automated, nearly reproducible, and error-less process, for me. This document has never been beta tested; I am it’s only user.
I’m studying Noweb Refs. Here is something helping me make sense of it. I asked about it on-list, too, with more details. I’m still playing with it.

org-scraps are interesting because I have only used Org-Mode’s tangling functionality for my Emacs initialization file. They show off a lot of the literate stuff with concise examples. Things make a lot more sense how.
