New features and product maturity?</h2><p>Original question:</p><p>What new features (if any) would you like to see in org-mode or do youthink the product has reached maturity?</p><ul><li>case sensitive search in tag completition - multilingual day nameinput product has reached maturity in my opinion      </li><li>nothing (for now)      </li><li>A way to make it more Gnome friendly would be nice. In the case thatyou don't have emacs started, you lose your ideas until you can notethem down.</li><li>I still haven't learnt enough to fully customize my environment.</li><li>Nothing specific, but I love the current state of development.</li><li>Syncing todos to other devices such as cellphones and palms, I knowit would not be very easy to do but would be extremely useful </li><li>No idea, sorry. I think it has enough features at present that seemsa bit intimidating, really. (Minor quibble – I changed some of thekeybindings. I prefer M-left/right to hide/show subtrees, ratherthan cycling with tab, and use # instead of * for outlinelevels. This is mostly habits from a "todo-mode" used on emacsin-house where I work.)</li><li>I'm on the lookout for a cell phone that runs Emacs, but… I haven'tfound any mechanisms for remotely adding/editing timestamps,changing the state of TODO items, etc. Neither have I found a way totrigger reminder sounds, e-mails, phone calls, or IM messages. I'mnot sure about the best way to approach "mobile org-mode"… Aweb-interface like Webjimbo? More robust import/export/sync to iCalor GData? If we can find a way to usefully sync org-mode with mobiledevices, it'll be just about perfect.</li><li>Current features are enough for me.   </li><li>It is certainly mature. However I would also like to be able to useit as a wiki and general-purpose document authoring/publishingtool. In an ideal (and possibly unrealistic) world I would love tosee unification with muse-mode. To what extent is this possible?</li><li>I am still too new to it to comment on this.  </li><li>It's quite mature and I surely don't master it. What I'd like to seeis easier manipulation of the agenda export.</li><li>Compatibility with other wiki syntax (importer or exporter)</li><li>too soon to know      </li><li>Basically mature; I'd like to see refinement within the currentfeature set.</li><li>You can always add new features! I would like to see an easy way totell how old my entries are. I would like to be able to derive atask order based on importance and age (for tasks that don't have adeadline but must be completed eventually). Also I would like to seeit integrated with other tools. I think a MindMap converter (forFreeMind) would be cool - although it probably could be an externalscript.       </li><li>Export to WordprocessingML would be perfect. Currently I export toHTML and read the reports into Word, saving them as *.doc. But youloose some features and details doing this.   </li><li>Integration out-of-the-box with remote calendar systems like GoogleCalendar</li><li>Close to maturity. Some new features would be nice, but not terriblyimportant: Keeping root to leaf tree structure when archiving partof a subtree. Simple dependent todos (i.e. dependent todo moves into"NEXT" state when previous todo is marked "DONE"). Exporting entriesin HTML in monospaced font by default (i.e. without speciallymarking individual entries). Auto-sorting of entries within a singleparent node (e.g. when a node is marked "DONE", move it lower in theparent's list of todos). Integration with project managementsoftware.</li><li>Some kind of resolution to the line wrapping issue with headlines.    </li><li>Simpler ways of doing things (perhaps with mouse commands)</li><li>I'd say it's pretty close to maturity. I haven't used most of themore recently-added advanced features.</li><li>I'd like easier customization of "workflow" steps that would make iteasier to update states and record notes related to state changes(and skip these notes when the state transitions are obvious innature).      </li><li>No immediate demands. I do not think the project has reachedmaturity.</li><li>This product has reached maturity since long! In my point of viewthis is. Excellent work!      </li><li>depending tasks - integrated pdf-generation (especially forwindows) - visualisation for tasks (like gantt) - a minor mode forcontacts like vcard.el</li><li>I think it reached maturity. It would be nice to have some minorthings, like a posibility to insert todo's right inside your projectsource code and then have them added in agenda automatically. </li><li>Instead of new features, I'd much prefer keeping XEmacscompatibility </li><li>Wishlist - Adding arbitrary (user specified) relations between nodeswith a specific relation name. for example, x <part of> y; where xand y are two nodes. - Making the above functionality work betweenfiles - making the above work between nodes published on adistributed server In the GNU project GNOWSYS, we do this, where itis a web application. We are now exploring how org mode can be usedas a client to manage the data published in GNOWSYS. Out team wouldbe more than willing to collaborate, but our team members are allPython hackers, and use Emacs only for coding</li><li>I am having trouble keeping up with the many new features of thelast few months!</li><li>I think it is mature enough for me</li><li>automatic reminders in Emacs as pop ups?</li><li>I'm quite content as it is. I guess I could probably think of one ortwo things, but I wouldn't want to spoil its power/simplicitybalance.</li><li> planing times for tasks and compare them to actuel used times (andalso give out a warning if to many hours are planed for one day) -agenda export to latex - simple project management</li><li>a gtd framework would be a killer feature!! more visual effects withoverlays However, it's "d�éj�à" a very good work. Thanks.</li><li>very mature</li><li>Nearing maturity, but then again, maybe I'm just out of ideas.</li><li>I would like org-mode (or other parts of it like orgtbl) to become aminor mode so I can turn it on/off in other buffers (mainlymuse). For example I would love to use todo list editing features inemails. </li><li>I don't understant all the features yet :)    </li><li>export facilitie</li><li>New features, in order of importance to me: 1.) A way to select achunk of text in firefox and paste it into org-mode, along with anicely formatted URL link. I would use this many times a day. MSOneNote does this well. 2.) A way to link to email in an IMAPfolder. Preferably, this link would point directly to the email onthe IMAP server. The link should look like all the other links, andyou should be able to just drag it from, say, Thunderbird, intoorg-mode, although a Thunderbird keyboard shortcut would be nice. Iwould use this every day. 3.) More flexible outline prefixes. Youshould be able to make headlines of this type: I. asdlfk i. asdfjii. asdlfkj II. … Or 1. Introduction 1.1 asdfkj 1.2asdfkl 2. Background … Emacs hyperbole:<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/hyperbole/">http://directory.fsf.org/project/hyperbole/</a> did thisbeautifully. 4.) Internal links search in a way consistent withemacs search (Ctrl-s). When you click on a link, it should gotowards the end of the buffer for the next match. When there'snothing towards the end, it should wrap to the top. 5.) Fix theunderline/bold/italic stuff (if that is a new feature) 6.) Betterformatted html table export</li><li>Better support for working with others.       </li><li>I would like to see different way to view or summarize ageda. Likeprogress, next possible todo</li><li>I think org-mode is quite mature now except there may be still somebugs in it and some features may need more polish</li><li>Too novice a user yet to comment</li><li>can't tell yet.       </li><li>I like to be surprised more than wishing</li><li>I'd like better integration with calendar mode ofemacs. Specifically, when using the calendar, the command 'i d' toinsert an appointment, the diary file is used. I'd like to set aheadline in my orgmode buffer for that insert, for consistency withthe calendar entries I make by hand while processing my inbox Also,navigation from agenda to org-file is easy. navigating back isharder.</li><li>possibly nested numbered lists: 1. head 1 1.1 sub-head 1 1.2sub-head 2 Also lettered lists: a. point a b. point b but I'malready quite satisfied</li><li> implement all features of muse-mode. Ex: list of pages, backlinks,following links with Enter, … - consistent and clear syntax forformatting text, which doesn't require memorizing use cases orexceptions (ex: <b>a</b> isn't bold)</li><li>syncing with my palm would be the greatest need. (syncing withoutlook would do the job as outlook is snced with the palm)</li><li>mostly small things like an isearch mode that only matches headlines(and doesn't auto expand), an allout-copy-exposed-to-bufferequivalent, hipster pda publishing</li><li>I've too many ideas to write here. The only thing i can think of isnot quite org related. A published bison or antlr grammar, so peoplecan write org parsers/processors in other languages, and extend itsintegration into other systems.</li><li>Org mode is fairly mature. Only the remaining inconsistencies shouldbe straightened out.</li><li>Hard to say, every so often I think of a feature that might be niceto have. I have a feeling that alternate views (like the agenda) toallow other ways of exploring your information would be handy, but Ihave no concrete ideas yet as to what they might be.</li><li>Better exporting (for example better LaTeX export).   </li><li>The only thing I need is better integration with mh-e (I suspect itis already there - just need to find the time to sort it out). Otherthan that I am very content!</li><li> I always wanted to be able to schedule a task for a specific week(as oposed to a date) - I would like to improve the hipsterPDAgeneration (export the agenda view as nice LaTeX, improve thecal-tex output, etc)</li><li>Org grows faster than I can learn all those nice features. Onefeature I'd love to see was that the HTML export created docs thatcould be outlined like in an org buffer. I guess that's possiblewith some CSS.</li><li>Task dependency for project planing</li><li>At the moment, I'm still on the learning curve. Org-mode hassoooooooooo many features I have not even discovered yet. I almostdaily open the manual pages to see I there is something I can use.</li><li>Probably, customization of built-in agenda view. But I'd rather seeorg-mode streamlined and cleaned of unnecessarycomplications. Properties should be either integrated more tightlyto replace tags/priorities/etc, or removed.</li><li>Looking forward to some of the dependency ideas.      </li><li>Import tasks from .ics files, include .ics files in agenda,eventually include remote .ics files in agenda. Would like anupdated blogging tool that takes advantage of recent developments.</li><li>I'm working on integration with my email client and web browser --it's a slow process because I'm not a programmer, but I'm learningbits and pieces about bash shell scripts and grabbing what I canfrom experts already using org.</li><li>I'd like a way to set project (outline item) dependencies and toeasily list those projects in dependency order. I could do it nowwith properties, a dynamic block and some elisp. I'd use markup moreif it were more reliable in the emacs buffer.

Thanks a lot for your effort and time!</li><li>Great Work ! Felicitation to its author</li><li>It's indispensable for my current work and lifestyle.</li><li>It is a great package, thanks for making it available and keepingit alive!</li><li>Thanks for the org-mode. I just love it! Do all my personal and jobplanning with it!</li><li>Great tool, thanks thanks thanks :)</li><li>It's fantastic – thanks for the great tool. I'm getting older andit's the only way I can "remember" everything. It's not just a greattodo list manager, but I use it to document almost everything aboutmy job (e.g. my original intentions about aproject/implementation). I can bury a TODO right down in the placewhere I have most of the surrounding documentation.</li><li>I cannot overstate how valuable this mode is. It single handedly hasthe potential to make laypeople aware of Emacs. Thanks so much forworking on it!</li><li>Love it. Love it. Love it.

I like this kind of apps since I work inknowledge organization, and would like to contribute in someway. Our lab gnowledge.org would like to develop a java applet thatprovides org mode kind of editing. The buffer thus produced will beconverted into html when the page is being served in thebackground. This will encourage the community to do structureddocumentation. Our lab is now engaged in developingbeta.selfplatform.eu, where in we would like to provide thisfeature. Do you think, orgmode developers would like to help us orcontribute in this endeavor. Orgmode can be very useful forfurthering semantic computing.</li><li>It is a great product. I does not need to grow. It might riskfeature creep.</li><li>Excellent package</li><li>Thank you, Carsten!</li><li>Has increased my productivity a lot!</li><li>Really a great thank to the author "Carsten Dominik", "chapeau" asthey say in France!!!!</li><li>Org-mode was relatively immature when I started using it, and I havekept with it for 2 simple reasons: 1. The maintainer (Carsten) isfriendly, fast, accurate, and thorough 2. It works – it does whatit claims to do, and does it well</li><li>Org mode keeps me organized, it's outstanding!</li><li>hmmh, org-mode is the first thing I start in the morning and thelast I close in the evening, I guess this tells it all.</li><li>Org mode has been an incredibly useful tool that is fun to use. Ithink a main reason for its utility is that basic use requireslittle thought. When I'm using it for brainstorming, it's almostlike I'm not aware that I'm using any program – I'm justthinking. Any changes to org-mode should preserve thissimplicity. Thanks a ton to Carsten and all the others who havecontributed to this great project!</li><li>Thank you Carsten!</li><li>Maybe we should consider a separate package or maintainer forxemacs….    </li><li>Thanks, thanks and thanks.</li><li>Good stuff. thanks    </li><li>It's Fun. ASCII is usually the only interface I can get used to,because it's so fast.</li><li>org-mode makes me look organised (though a bit quirky). That'senough reason to use it.</li><li>Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)   </li><li>Even if org-mode stands right where it is, it has been enormouslyhelpful. Thank you very, very much.</li><li>Well done     </li><li>Yes: org-mode progresses very well and improves with each version</li><li>for me its the greatest found treasure since I "dicovered" Emacs.</li><li>Great work!

Thanks to Carsten et al.</li><li>Rock on!</li><li>favorite piece of software I use.</li><li>I'm continually amazed by what org can do, and also by how intuitiveit is. It's not at all unusual that I find myself thinking that itwould be great if org/emacs did "x", trying what seems to me to bethe way that it would do "x" if it could, and discovering that itfunctions just as I expect. And when it doesn't, there are ways tofigure it out. (And Carsten is a great developer who shines athearing what his users are doing, responding to expressed needs, andeven being clear if/when he decides not to do what someone wouldlike him to do. Other heavy users and scripters are great as well.</li><li>I started using Org-mode as an outliner. It is the best outlinerI've used an much more. The community is valuable but Carsten'sskill and judgment has made org-mode what it is.</li><li>It's a killer tool that I could not live without.</li><li>org-mode is great, I hope it can keep clean text file when addingfunctions.</li><li>I forced myself to learn emacs after 25+ years in the vi camp inorder to use org-mode. Loving it. Carsten's enthusiasm and supportare a joy, and the mailing list is always refreshing.</li><li>I plan to run a website where users could share Org files and editthem together. I plan to write a better exporter (and more formats!)I think the Org syntax is mature enough to get more programsinteracting with it outside Emacs. Org is <b>great</b> :)</li><li>It's wonderful.
