Litorgy enables *communication* between programming languages and
between people.

Litorgy provides:
- communication between programs :: Data passes seamlessly between
     different programming languages, text, and tables.
- communication between people :: Data and calculations are embedded
     in the same document as notes explanations and reports.

** communication between programs

*** interaction between languages (disk usage in your home directory)

This will work for Linux and Mac users, not so sure about shell
commands for windows users.

To run place the cursor on the =#+begin_src= line of the source block
labeled directory-pie and press =\C-c\C-c=.

*** operate on the contents of tables
*** be called from inside tables


** communication between people

*** calculation in/on tables (litorgies own tests)
litorgies own functional tests are contained in a large org-mode
table, allowing the test suite to be run be evaluation of the table
and the results to be collected in the same table.

*** interactive documentation (tutorial)

This would demonstrate applicability to Reproducible Research, and
Literate Programming.
