There's a full framework for doing generic service syncs in org-mode, called org-sync.

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/gsoc2012/student-project...

It was a GSOC project last year, ended up with a github (and maybe redmine? Dunno if that got finished) backend, unfortunately never really got traction with the community.

Wow! This is exactly what I needed. And it also reminds me that my Emacs config desperately needs a refactor. Today seems to be a good time to do it :-) Thanks for sharing! (and of course, for writing it too in case you are also the author)

I'm not the author, but as I found this little gem I suspected the HN crowd might find it useful. (and if you're in the mood to hack your emacs conf I suggest having a look at org-babel, I found that a literate approach to my emacs conf is the only way to stay sane)

Yes 100% agree. I just switched over to emacs 24 starter kit for just this reason!

Awesome, can't wait to play with this! Is it two way?

edit from the video it appears that it is, nice!
