-Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and doing
-project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.
-
-Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that contain
-information about projects as plain text.  Org-mode is implemented on
-top of outline-mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of
-large files well structured.  Visibility cycling and structure editing
-help to work with the tree.  Tables are easily created with a built-in
-table editor.  Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps,
-and scheduling.  It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda.
-Plain text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, Usenet
-messages, BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects.  For
-printing and sharing of notes, an Org-mode file can be exported as a
-structured ASCII file, HTML, and LaTeX.

+- Simplicity :: Org-mode it a simple outliner for note taking and list
+     management. You can learn basic use in five minutes.  Some never
+     move any further than that, and Org-mode will never impose
+     complexity.
+- Depth :: As needs arise, Org-mode will show it's amazingly broad and
+     deep feature set.  The typical answer to "/Can I do X?/" is
+     "/Yes!/".
+- 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.
+- Flexibility :: Org-mode is a tool 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

+     questions are usually answered within hours.
+- It's free! :: Org is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software][open source software]], it is free, like Emacs.
