Slashorg is a program that let’s you read the contents of the frontpage of Slashdot.org inside a org buffer.

Prerequisites

You need to have w3m installed before you can use slashorg.

On a Ubuntu machine you can use the following command:

sudo apt-get install w3m

You also need to have org-mode installed. Most recent versions of Emacs already have it installed, but if yours doesn’t, you will need to install it.

You can also install org-mode using your package manager. For example, on a Ubuntu machine you can use the following command:

sudo apt-get install org-mode

Instalation

Download the slashorg.el file and put it somewhere in your load-path.

Add the following to your .emacs file:

(autoload 'slashorg "slashorg" "Read the front page of Slashdot.org as a `org-mode' buffer." t)

To use it, type M-x slashorg

Things still missing

Create installation instructions for windows (can it run w3m?)
