+*Org - an Emacs Mode for Notes, Project Planning, and Authoring*
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project
|
|
|
+planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text
|
|
|
+system.

|
|
|
+- Simplicity :: Org-mode is a simple outliner for note-taking and list
|
|
|
+ management. You can learn the basics for using it in [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/orgtutorial_dto.php][five
|
|
|
+ minutes]]. This may be all you need, and Org-mode will not impose
|
|
|
+ more complex features on you.
|
|
|
+- Portability :: Org files are plain text. You can view and edit them
|
|
|
+ in any editor. Your data is yours forever. Org-mode runs in
|
|
|
+ [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]], which is available for nearly every platform.
|
|
|
+- Depth :: Org-mode will not let you down when you need more than a
|
|
|
+ simple outline. The full feature set is both [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Main-Index.html#Main-Index][broad]] and [[http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html][deep]].
|
|
|
+ The typical [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php][answer]] to "/Can it do X?/" is "/Yes!/".
|
|
|
+- Flexibility :: Org-mode is like a Swiss army knife. People use it
|
|
|
+ for [[http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/orgmode.html][Getting Things Done (GTD)]], as a [[http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/org.mode.day.planner.php][Day Planner]], as a [[http://sachachua.com/wp/2008/01/18/outlining-your-notes-with-org/][Notebook]],
|
|
|
+ for Web and PDF [[http://orgmode.org][Authoring]], and much more.
|
|
|
+- Support :: Org-mode is supported by an active [[id:0B280B26-A3AB-4E5C-B4EE-B7FFC52C4D26][mailing list]] where
|
|
|
+ questions are answered quickly and effectively.
|
|
|
+- It's free! :: Org is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software][open source software]], it is free, like Emacs.

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+[[http://orgmode.org/worg/][Worg]], created by [[http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/][Bastien Guerry]], is a setup to allow users to jointly
|
|
|
+edit a number of Org-mode files containing documentation about
|
|
|
+Org-mode, including the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php][Org Mode FAQ]] and [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php][Tutorials]]. Worg is similar
|
|
|
+to a wiki in that allows community to edit the contents. However,
|
|
|
+since it uses a distributed version control system, you do not have to
|
|
|
+be online while editing it. If you'd like to contribute to Worg,
|
|
|
+please go to [[http://orgmode.org/worg/][the Worg page]], and start from there.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Contributing to Org-mode
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can always contribute with ideas and bug reports on the mailing
|
|
|
+list. If you want to contribute a patch, code snippets, or a full
|
|
|
+add-on, this is very welcome too! We do distribute good add-ons as
|
|
|
+contributed packages. However, to integrate additions into the
|
|
|
+Org-mode core, the author needs to assign the copyright to the [[http://www.fsf.org/][Free
|
|
|
+Software Foundation]]. This is because Org-mode is part of Emacs, which
|
|
|
+adheres to very strict rules. If you would like to sign the papers,
|
|
|
+use [[file:request-assign-future.txt][this form]], fill it in and [[mailto:assign@gnu.org,carsten.dominik@gmail.com][send]] it to the FSF with a copy to the
|
|
|
+Org-mode maintainer.
