37 A survey was conducted of org-mode users duing November 2007. An
38 invitation was sent to the org-mode users list as well as announced on
39 the <a href="http://orgmode.org">http://orgmode.org</a> web site. About 80 people resonded. This file
40 contains a complete list of the answers, as the base of further

140 <li>
141 August 2007? Heard of it a long time ago, maybe by following links

149 about the begining of 2007. Heard about it on the internet I guess.
150 </li>
151 <li>
152 I found it by way of emacswiki.org. I was an avid user of outline
153 mode, and found somebody's screencast (Scott Jaderholm's, I think)
154 showing off org mode. I've been using it for probably about six
155 months.

217 I read about org-mail from an email of a maillist … dnon't know
218 which one
219 </li>
220 <li>
221 A year ago because someone mentioned it in #emacs on freenode as a

260 </li>
261 <li>
262 I think I began using it in 2005. I found out about it on the
263 planner list.
264 </li>
265 <li>
266 it's been about a year, I can't remember how I found out about it,
267 maybe on the #emacs channel IRC.

276 In 2005, I found out about org-mode while googling for some kind of
277 outliner software. My search must have hit upon a listserv post. My
278 first try at using it was in June 2005, but I didn't like
279 it. Carsten made many improvements and in December 2005, he emailed
280 me to ask me what I thought. It thought it was pretty good, and I've
281 been using it almost every day since.

305 I have a "org version 3.05" in my .emacs So it should be from spring
306 2005 (March? May?) I read an article in the web, a blog I think. so
307 I began using Emacs to use org (uh! :-)

317 June 2007. At may I started learning Emacs for the first time, and
318 together all its related modes. At #emacs at irc.freenode.org and at

347 Aug 2005 After trying out Sacha's planning mode i knew it was close,
348 but not quite right for me. Googling around I found org mode.

365 <li>
366 2007, September, read about it on the pages explaining how it was
367 part of emacs-22
368 </li>
369 <li>
371 probably, there was an article (linux.com?).
372 </li>
373 <li>
375 </li>
376 <li>
377 at least as long as the newsgroup has been gmane, as I submitted it
378 there. I must have found out on emacs wiki?
379 </li>
380 <li>
381 ~March 2007. I was using planner and I think I saw references to it
382 there and checked it out.

573 1.) Note taking: web links, links to lines of code I'm working on,

575 to do something, I often fire up org-mode, dump a bunch of random
576 thoughts into it, and then organize it into something that makes
577 sense. 3.) Experiment logging. I use table node to store pretty much
578 all the results I've accumulated for my PhD thesis. 4.) TODO
579 lists. I thought I'd use the GTD capabilities on org-mode but can't
580 force myself to do it. But still, for little projects, I use the
581 TODO lists.

726 Original question:
727 </p>
728 <p>
729 What new features (if any) would you like to see in org-mode or do you
730 think the product has reached maturity?
731 </p>
732 <ul>
733 <li>
734 case sensitive search in tag completition - multilingual day name
735 input product has reached maturity in my opinion
736 </li>
737 <li>
738 nothing (for now)
739 </li>
740 <li>
741 A way to make it more Gnome friendly would be nice. In the case that
742 you don't have emacs started, you lose your ideas until you can note
743 them down.
744 </li>
745 <li>
746 I still haven't learnt enough to fully customize my environment.
747 </li>
748 <li>
749 Nothing specific, but I love the current state of development.
750 </li>
751 <li>
752 Syncing todos to other devices such as cellphones and palms, I know
753 it would not be very easy to do but would be extremely useful
754 </li>
755 <li>
756 No idea, sorry. I think it has enough features at present that seems
757 a bit intimidating, really. (Minor quibble – I changed some of the
758 keybindings. I prefer M-left/right to hide/show subtrees, rather
759 than cycling with tab, and use # instead of * for outline
760 levels. This is mostly habits from a "todo-mode" used on emacs
761 in-house where I work.)

764 I'm on the lookout for a cell phone that runs Emacs, but… I haven't
765 found any mechanisms for remotely adding/editing timestamps,
766 changing the state of TODO items, etc. Neither have I found a way to
767 trigger reminder sounds, e-mails, phone calls, or IM messages. I'm
769 web-interface like Webjimbo? More robust import/export/sync to iCal
770 or GData? If we can find a way to usefully sync org-mode with mobile
771 devices, it'll be just about perfect.
772 </li>
773 <li>
774 Current features are enough for me.
775 </li>
776 <li>
777 It is certainly mature. However I would also like to be able to use
778 it as a wiki and general-purpose document authoring/publishing
779 tool. In an ideal (and possibly unrealistic) world I would love to
780 see unification with muse-mode. To what extent is this possible?
781 </li>
782 <li>
783 I am still too new to it to comment on this.
784 </li>
785 <li>
786 It's quite mature and I surely don't master it. What I'd like to see
787 is easier manipulation of the agenda export.
788 </li>
789 <li>
790 Compatibility with other wiki syntax (importer or exporter)
791 </li>
792 <li>
793 too soon to know
794 </li>
795 <li>
796 Basically mature; I'd like to see refinement within the current
797 feature set.
798 </li>
799 <li>
800 You can always add new features! I would like to see an easy way to
801 tell how old my entries are. I would like to be able to derive a
802 task order based on importance and age (for tasks that don't have a
803 deadline but must be completed eventually). Also I would like to see
804 it integrated with other tools. I think a MindMap converter (for
805 FreeMind) would be cool - although it probably could be an external
806 script.
807 </li>
808 <li>
809 Export to WordprocessingML would be perfect. Currently I export to
810 HTML and read the reports into Word, saving them as *.doc. But you
811 loose some features and details doing this.
812 </li>
813 <li>
814 Integration out-of-the-box with remote calendar systems like Google
815 Calendar
816 </li>
817 <li>
818 Close to maturity. Some new features would be nice, but not terribly
819 important: Keeping root to leaf tree structure when archiving part
820 of a subtree. Simple dependent todos (i.e. dependent todo moves into
822 in HTML in monospaced font by default (i.e. without specially
823 marking individual entries). Auto-sorting of entries within a single
824 parent node (e.g. when a node is marked "DONE", move it lower in the
825 parent's list of todos). Integration with project management
826 software.
827 </li>
828 <li>
829 Some kind of resolution to the line wrapping issue with headlines.
830 </li>
831 <li>
832 Simpler ways of doing things (perhaps with mouse commands)
833 </li>
834 <li>
835 I'd say it's pretty close to maturity. I haven't used most of the
836 more recently-added advanced features.
837 </li>
838 <li>
839 I'd like easier customization of "workflow" steps that would make it
840 easier to update states and record notes related to state changes
841 (and skip these notes when the state transitions are obvious in
842 nature).
843 </li>
844 <li>
845 No immediate demands. I do not think the project has reached
846 maturity.
847 </li>
848 <li>
849 This product has reached maturity since long! In my point of view
850 this is. Excellent work!
851 </li>
852 <li>
853 depending tasks - integrated pdf-generation (especially for
854 windows) - visualisation for tasks (like gantt) - a minor mode for
855 contacts like vcard.el
856 </li>
857 <li>
858 I think it reached maturity. It would be nice to have some minor
859 things, like a posibility to insert todo's right inside your project
860 source code and then have them added in agenda automatically.
861 </li>
862 <li>
863 Instead of new features, I'd much prefer keeping XEmacs
864 compatibility
865 </li>
866 <li>
867 Wishlist - Adding arbitrary (user specified) relations between nodes
869 and y are two nodes. - Making the above functionality work between
870 files - making the above work between nodes published on a
871 distributed server In the GNU project GNOWSYS, we do this, where it
872 is a web application. We are now exploring how org mode can be used
873 as a client to manage the data published in GNOWSYS. Out team would
874 be more than willing to collaborate, but our team members are all
875 Python hackers, and use Emacs only for coding
876 </li>
877 <li>
878 I am having trouble keeping up with the many new features of the
879 last few months!
880 </li>
881 <li>
882 I think it is mature enough for me
883 </li>
884 <li>
885 automatic reminders in Emacs as pop ups?
886 </li>
887 <li>
888 I'm quite content as it is. I guess I could probably think of one or
889 two things, but I wouldn't want to spoil its power/simplicity
890 balance.
891 </li>
892 <li>
893 planing times for tasks and compare them to actuel used times (and
894 also give out a warning if to many hours are planed for one day) -
895 agenda export to latex - simple project management
896 </li>
897 <li>
898 a gtd framework would be a killer feature!! more visual effects with
899 overlays However, it's "d�éj�à " a very good work. Thanks.
900 </li>
901 <li>
902 very mature
903 </li>
904 <li>
905 Nearing maturity, but then again, maybe I'm just out of ideas.
906 </li>
907 <li>
908 I would like org-mode (or other parts of it like orgtbl) to become a
909 minor mode so I can turn it on/off in other buffers (mainly
910 muse). For example I would love to use todo list editing features in
911 emails.
912 </li>
913 <li>
914 I don't understant all the features yet :)
915 </li>
916 <li>
917 export facilitie
918 </li>
919 <li>
920 New features, in order of importance to me: 1.) A way to select a
921 chunk of text in firefox and paste it into org-mode, along with a
922 nicely formatted URL link. I would use this many times a day. MS
923 OneNote does this well. 2.) A way to link to email in an IMAP
924 folder. Preferably, this link would point directly to the email on
925 the IMAP server. The link should look like all the other links, and
926 you should be able to just drag it from, say, Thunderbird, into
927 org-mode, although a Thunderbird keyboard shortcut would be nice. I
928 would use this every day. 3.) More flexible outline prefixes. You
929 should be able to make headlines of this type: I. asdlfk i. asdfj
932 <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/hyperbole/">http://directory.fsf.org/project/hyperbole/</a> did this
933 beautifully. 4.) Internal links search in a way consistent with
934 emacs search (Ctrl-s). When you click on a link, it should go
935 towards the end of the buffer for the next match. When there's
936 nothing towards the end, it should wrap to the top. 5.) Fix the
937 underline/bold/italic stuff (if that is a new feature) 6.) Better
938 formatted html table export
939 </li>
940 <li>
941 Better support for working with others.
942 </li>
943 <li>
944 I would like to see different way to view or summarize ageda. Like
945 progress, next possible todo
946 </li>
947 <li>
948 I think org-mode is quite mature now except there may be still some
949 bugs in it and some features may need more polish
950 </li>
951 <li>
952 Too novice a user yet to comment
953 </li>
954 <li>
955 can't tell yet.
956 </li>
957 <li>
958 I like to be surprised more than wishing
959 </li>
960 <li>
961 I'd like better integration with calendar mode of
962 emacs. Specifically, when using the calendar, the command 'i d' to
963 insert an appointment, the diary file is used. I'd like to set a
964 headline in my orgmode buffer for that insert, for consistency with
965 the calendar entries I make by hand while processing my inbox Also,
966 navigation from agenda to org-file is easy. navigating back is
967 harder.
968 </li>
969 <li>
971 sub-head 2 Also lettered lists: a. point a b. point b but I'm
972 already quite satisfied
973 </li>
974 <li>
975 implement all features of muse-mode. Ex: list of pages, backlinks,
976 following links with Enter, … - consistent and clear syntax for
977 formatting text, which doesn't require memorizing use cases or
979 </li>
980 <li>
981 syncing with my palm would be the greatest need. (syncing with
982 outlook would do the job as outlook is snced with the palm)
983 </li>
984 <li>
985 mostly small things like an isearch mode that only matches headlines
986 (and doesn't auto expand), an allout-copy-exposed-to-buffer
987 equivalent, hipster pda publishing
988 </li>
989 <li>
990 I've too many ideas to write here. The only thing i can think of is
991 not quite org related. A published bison or antlr grammar, so people
992 can write org parsers/processors in other languages, and extend its
993 integration into other systems.
994 </li>
995 <li>
996 Org mode is fairly mature. Only the remaining inconsistencies should
997 be straightened out.
998 </li>
999 <li>
1000 Hard to say, every so often I think of a feature that might be nice
1001 to have. I have a feeling that alternate views (like the agenda) to
1002 allow other ways of exploring your information would be handy, but I
1003 have no concrete ideas yet as to what they might be.
1004 </li>
1005 <li>
1006 Better exporting (for example better LaTeX export).
1007 </li>
1008 <li>
1009 The only thing I need is better integration with mh-e (I suspect it
1010 is already there - just need to find the time to sort it out). Other
1011 than that I am very content!
1012 </li>
1013 <li>
1014 I always wanted to be able to schedule a task for a specific week
1015 (as oposed to a date) - I would like to improve the hipsterPDA
1016 generation (export the agenda view as nice LaTeX, improve the
1017 cal-tex output, etc)
1018 </li>
1019 <li>
1020 Org grows faster than I can learn all those nice features. One
1021 feature I'd love to see was that the HTML export created docs that
1022 could be outlined like in an org buffer. I guess that's possible
1023 with some CSS.
1024 </li>
1025 <li>
1026 Task dependency for project planing
1027 </li>
1028 <li>
1029 At the moment, I'm still on the learning curve. Org-mode has
1030 soooooooooo many features I have not even discovered yet. I almost
1031 daily open the manual pages to see I there is something I can use.
1032 </li>
1033 <li>
1034 Probably, customization of built-in agenda view. But I'd rather see
1035 org-mode streamlined and cleaned of unnecessary
1036 complications. Properties should be either integrated more tightly
1037 to replace tags/priorities/etc, or removed.
1038 </li>
1039 <li>
1040 Looking forward to some of the dependency ideas.
1041 </li>
1042 <li>
1043 Import tasks from .ics files, include .ics files in agenda,
1044 eventually include remote .ics files in agenda. Would like an
1045 updated blogging tool that takes advantage of recent developments.
1046 </li>
1047 <li>
1048 I'm working on integration with my email client and web browser --
1049 it's a slow process because I'm not a programmer, but I'm learning
1050 bits and pieces about bash shell scripts and grabbing what I can
1051 from experts already using org.
1052 </li>
1053 <li>
1054 I'd like a way to set project (outline item) dependencies and to
1055 easily list those projects in dependency order. I could do it now
1056 with properties, a dynamic block and some elisp. I'd use markup more
1057 if it were more reliable in the emacs buffer. It might be nice to
1058 have a mode where rigid outline style indenting is enforced while
1059 editing outlines and lists. Perhaps as a buffer option or subtree
1060 property. None of this is necessary or worth calling org-mode
1061 immature.
1062 </li>
1063 <li>
1064 Not new features. But perhaps splitting org.el into different
1065 modules: one for outlining, one for doc format (Wiki engine), one
1066 for GTD
1067 </li>
1068 <li>
1069 block quote text support. like wiki {{{ This is quote text }}}
1070 Currently only putting ':' at beginning of text or heading.
1071 </li>
1072 <li>
1073 I hope a better archive mechanism using C-c C-x C-c, which could
1074 keep the structure in my org file.
1075 </li>
1076 <li>
1077 Seems mature; new features always interesting but can add a layer of
1078 too-many-choices distraction. (See prioritizing problems above ;) )
1079 </li>
1080 <li>
1081 New summary type {%} for progress status. Real comment syntax.
1082 </li>
1083 <li>
1084 I use only a fraction of its features.
1085 </li>
1086 <li>
1087 Mature
1089 </li>
1090 </ul></div>
1096 <p>
1097 Original question:
1098 Which topics or "how-to" guides would you like to see in the
1099 documentation or as a tutorial or screencast?
1100 </p>
1101 <ul>
1102 <li>
1103 none. documentation is excellent
1104 </li>
1105 <li>
1106 how to prepare/export/print GTD file to A7(index cards hPDA (hipster
1107 PDA) forms
1108 </li>
1109 <li>
1110 Everything should be a screencast for new users.
1111 </li>
1112 <li>
1113 I'd love to see more examples (with code) of how people use org,
1114 especially for implementing GTD.
1115 </li>
1116 <li>
1117 More detailed information about blogging would be great, especially
1118 motivation for using org.
1119 </li>
1120 <li>
1121 The manual and refcard usually have me covered. An in-depth
1122 screencast on table/calc might be nice.
1123 </li>
1124 <li>
1125 More stuff about methodology to use it.
1126 </li>
1127 <li>
1128 Screencasts are most helpful to me. I would like to see material on
1129 publishing and blogging in particular
1130 </li>
1131 <li>
1132 Project lifecycle. Timesheet reports.
1133 </li>
1134 <li>
1135 Exporting to other formats and customizing that
1136 </li>
1137 <li>
1138 lot of screencast showing new features of org (such as one already
1139 done)
1140 </li>
1141 <li>
1142 The documentation is actually rather good as it is, haven't found
1143 anything lacking yet.
1144 </li>
1145 <li>
1146 Integration with remember
1147 </li>
1148 <li>
1149 Integrating org-mode with pine/alpine mailer.
1150 </li>
1151 <li>
1152 Not sure who you want to target. Advanced users are your bread and
1153 butter and probably are OK. Beginners should get some screencasts
1154 that describe a common problem and just focuses an how org mode can
1155 help them. A good example is something like when someone's todo list
1156 gets too long and complex and they want to split it, but maintain
1157 connections between items on various lists, or perhaps view a
1158 chronological list of all items in one location. Org mode is the
1159 only program I know of the handles this kind of complexity
1160 gracefully.
1161 </li>
1162 <li>
1163 In depth explanation of using the agenda to its fullest
1164 </li>
1165 <li>
1166 I'd love to see one on setting up column views. A tutorial on
1167 publishing files would be great. And one about creating custom
1168 agenda views.
1169 </li>
1170 <li>
1171 Changing the keybindings to make specific state transitions easier
1172 to enter
1173 </li>
1174 <li>
1175 don't know as of yet …
1176 </li>
1177 <li>
1178 using the spreadsheet with merged cells, calculation for rows and
1179 columns - showing the true meaning of the properties stuff - over
1180 all there should be examples - i really dislike the manual form
1181 orgmode.org because it is technical oriented not for the simple
1182 user - more howtos for gtd -> learning from each other
1183 </li>
1184 <li>
1185 Different usages of org-mode. From GTD to other ways …
1186 </li>
1187 <li>
1188 I find the manual well written and sufficient.
1189 </li>
1190 <li>
1191 Use of drawers and properties.
1192 </li>
1193 <li>
1194 HOw to organize multiple projects; auto-archival.
1195 </li>
1196 <li>
1197 org spreadsheet
1198 </li>
1199 <li>
1200 Since Org-mode is (to me) a collection of "orthogonal" features, but
1201 doesn't much impose structure, I'd be interested in seeing how
1202 others organise their data and "bring it to life" with the Org-mode
1203 features.
1204 </li>
1205 <li>
1206 none
1207 </li>
1208 <li>
1209 more documentation for org's lisp functions (in fact more examples
1210 with org's lisp funtions!!)
1211 </li>
1212 <li>
1213 remember mode integration
1214 </li>
1215 <li>
1216 I prefer the documentation and experimentation. Need drives my
1217 learning.
1218 </li>
1219 <li>
1220 I don't have any preferences.
1221 </li>
1222 <li>
1223 Can't think of any
1224 </li>
1225 <li>
1226 I think a new user would benefit from a screencast showing basic
1227 hierarchy creation and navigation
1228 </li>
1229 <li>
1230 Remember Practical uses of properties
1231 </li>
1232 <li>
1233 I would like to see more people to share their ways of using org
1234 model
1235 </li>
1236 <li>
1237 The documentation is already very good and it seems the manual is
1238 never out of sync from the latest org-mode version. I found the
1239 mailing list is the best source of "how-to" as people's individual
1240 situations are so much different.
1241 </li>
1242 <li>
1243 more of org for gtd
1244 </li>
1245 <li>
1246 how to deal with the calendar and insert dates quickly - two-way
1247 backends for groupware-like behavior - calender functionality for
1248 scheduled events (receive popups or emails or sms or the like) -
1249 probably more but it's too early to say
1250 </li>
1251 <li>
1252 drawers + table calculations
1253 </li>
1254 <li>
1255 Using org-mode as a calendar/planner. Perhaps a best practice around
1256 where date- and time-stamps belong (in the headline? in a SCHEDULED:
1257 property? DEADLINE: property?) Also, it would be helpful to be shown
1258 the best practices around Categories (since they show up so
1259 prominently in the agenda) I wanted them to be like David Allen's
1260 "Contexts", but that's hard for me to manage.

1281 <li>
1282 I'm still not familiar with the more advanced features of org-mode,
1283 so I'm keen to see these areas explored in tutorials and guides.
1284 </li>
1285 <li>
1286 The spreadsheet.
1287 </li>
1288 <li>
1289 None that I would be interested in, although I accept that new users
1290 would benefit from them.
1291 </li>
1292 <li>
1293 I think column-view is a great feature. Bastiens tutorial is good,
1294 but I'm thinking a tutorial focused more on the use case as opposed
1295 to the config option might be better. If I find time :-)
1296 </li>
1297 <li>
1298 I don't know if it's just me, but currently I make no use of
1299 tags. So any how-to or screencasts of how to use categories and tags
1300 together in a senseful way would be nice. Most usages of tags I've
1301 seen so far where tags like :phonecall: or :appoitment:, but when I
1303 </li>
1304 <li>
1305 I would welcome such how-to's and offer to help. The drawback of
1306 screencasts is they take a long time, and there is no way a viewer
1307 can tell it will be usefull to sit it all out. A guide giving
1308 examples (and using short screencasts, if necessary) gives the
1309 reader an overview, he/she can skip sections and browse to a
1310 chapter/paragraph deemed usefull. I would like to learn howto tweak
1311 my custom built todo-lists so that some of the statuses show up in
1312 the agenda, and others don't. Example WRITE should be on the agenda,
1313 but INVOICE not really. But the intermediate VERIFY should.
1314 </li>
1315 <li>
1316 More on GTD. Agenda customization.
1317 </li>
1318 <li>
1319 More on column mode and new uses of properties.
1320 </li>
1321 <li>
1322 I know there are books and howtos about lisp, but it would be great
1323 to see some smaller howtos that are specific to org applications,
1324 and code samples.
1325 </li>
1326 <li>
1327 The remember mode stuff scares me. I need to take some time learn
1328 it. I also know agenda can do a lot more than I do with it. I'd like
1329 to see screen shots of of column mode to drool over since I'm not
1330 running emacs 22 yet.
1331 </li>
1332 <li>
1333 can't thing of any

1335 <li>
1336 Spreadsheet examples.

1338 <li>
1339 how-to setup a gtd style system is always my favorite.
1340 </li>
1341 <li>

1382 I'm sure I will use everything at some point. I've finally started

1391 don't seem to fit my style of use.
1392 </li>
1393 <li>
1394 Publish to HTML and LaTeX (although I'd prefer ConTeXt), dynamic
1395 blocks, orgstruct minor mode, and hyperlinks. I'm not sure if they
1396 count as a "feature", but I use deadlines, scheduling, and repeated

1424 </li>
1425 <li>
1426 Starting to use spreadsheets and tables. I use the [/] feature to

1448 the PROPERTIES drawer in the future. I don't currently use any
1449 advanced table formulas or column view, but I'm glad they're there.

1526 Probably the question is bettered asked with "which features of
1527 org-mode do you not use?" :-) It seems I have almost used everything
1528 except properties and drawers. Although I did not go into depth of
1529 many of them, like I never used a formula in the built in org-mode

1597 that requires more tweaking on my side.

1721 Thanks for this great software, I've waited for years for such a
1722 tool. I've wrote some tools around org in Perl, hopefully I'll find
1723 some time to contribute. Thanx a lot
1724 </li>
1725 <li>
1726 Great tool to stay even longer in emacs OS :-)
1727 </li>
1728 <li>
1729 Thanks!
1730 </li>
1731 <li>
1732 Great App, Great Support, Great Community
1733 </li>
1734 <li>
1735 org-mode is all-the-way cool.
1736 </li>
1737 <li>
1738 With the possible exception of Emacs itself, org-mode is my very
1739 favorite bit of software. It has inspired me to learn LISP, so I'm
1740 looking forward to contributing in the near future.
1741 </li>
1742 <li>
1743 It's fantastic and the maintainership and community are both second
1744 to none!
1745 </li>
1746 <li>
1747 Later. :)
1748 </li>
1749 <li>
1750 Great mode and very useful. Thanks a lot for your effort and time!
1751 </li>
1752 <li>
1753 Great Work ! Felicitation to its author
1754 </li>
1755 <li>
1756 It's indispensable for my current work and lifestyle.
1757 </li>
1758 <li>
1759 It is a great package, thanks for making it available and keeping
1760 it alive!
1761 </li>
1762 <li>
1763 Thanks for the org-mode. I just love it! Do all my personal and job
1764 planning with it!
1765 </li>
1766 <li>
1767 Great tool, thanks thanks thanks :)
1768 </li>
1769 <li>
1770 It's fantastic – thanks for the great tool. I'm getting older and
1771 it's the only way I can "remember" everything. It's not just a great
1772 todo list manager, but I use it to document almost everything about
1773 my job (e.g. my original intentions about a
1774 project/implementation). I can bury a TODO right down in the place
1775 where I have most of the surrounding documentation.
1776 </li>
1777 <li>
1778 I cannot overstate how valuable this mode is. It single handedly has
1779 the potential to make laypeople aware of Emacs. Thanks so much for
1780 working on it!
1781 </li>
1782 <li>
1783 Love it. Love it. Love it. Carsten is awesome.
1784 </li>
1785 <li>
1786 It's changing very fast, and I'm worried that my muscle memory will
1787 start to fight against the changes. Still, it's good to see an Emacs
1788 package with such active interest and support.
1789 </li>
1790 <li>
1791 I'm a happy user. Thanks to Carten and all contributors

1794 great guys on the mailinglist, great spirit, excellent product :-)
1795 </li>
1796 <li>
1797 Carsten, many thanks for this great piece of software! Keep it
1798 simple and usuable - not everybody follows the power user discussion
1799 in gmane
1800 </li>
1801 <li>
1802 Keep up the great work! :)
1803 </li>
1804 <li>
1805 Thanks to Carsten and to people on emacs-orgmode !!
1806 </li>
1807 <li>
1808 Been a user of GNU Emacs for the last 18years, never seen such a
1809 fascinating major mode. I like this kind of apps since I work in
1810 knowledge organization, and would like to contribute in some
1811 way. Our lab gnowledge.org would like to develop a java applet that
1812 provides org mode kind of editing. The buffer thus produced will be
1813 converted into html when the page is being served in the
1814 background. This will encourage the community to do structured
1815 documentation. Our lab is now engaged in developing
1816 beta.selfplatform.eu, where in we would like to provide this
1817 feature. Do you think, orgmode developers would like to help us or
1818 contribute in this endeavor. Orgmode can be very useful for
1819 furthering semantic computing.
1820 </li>
1821 <li>
1822 It is a great product. I does not need to grow. It might risk
1823 feature creep.
1824 </li>
1825 <li>
1826 Excellent package
1827 </li>
1828 <li>
1829 Thank you, Carsten!
1830 </li>
1831 <li>
1832 Has increased my productivity a lot!
1833 </li>
1834 <li>
1836 they say in France!!!!
1837 </li>
1838 <li>
1839 Org-mode was relatively immature when I started using it, and I have
1842 it claims to do, and does it well
1843 </li>
1844 <li>
1845 Org mode keeps me organized, it's outstanding!
1846 </li>
1847 <li>
1848 hmmh, org-mode is the first thing I start in the morning and the
1849 last I close in the evening, I guess this tells it all.
1850 </li>
1851 <li>
1852 Org mode has been an incredibly useful tool that is fun to use. I
1853 think a main reason for its utility is that basic use requires
1854 little thought. When I'm using it for brainstorming, it's almost
1855 like I'm not aware that I'm using any program – I'm just
1856 thinking. Any changes to org-mode should preserve this
1857 simplicity. Thanks a ton to Carsten and all the others who have
1858 contributed to this great project!
1859 </li>
1860 <li>
1861 Thank you Carsten!
1862 </li>
1863 <li>
1864 Maybe we should consider a separate package or maintainer for
1865 xemacs….
1866 </li>
1867 <li>
1868 Thanks, thanks and thanks.
1869 </li>
1870 <li>
1871 Good stuff. thanks
1872 </li>
1873 <li>
1874 It's Fun. ASCII is usually the only interface I can get used to,
1875 because it's so fast.
1876 </li>
1877 <li>
1878 org-mode makes me look organised (though a bit quirky). That's
1879 enough reason to use it.
1880 </li>
1881 <li>
1882 Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
1883 </li>
1884 <li>
1885 Even if org-mode stands right where it is, it has been enormously
1886 helpful. Thank you very, very much.
1887 </li>
1888 <li>
1889 Well done
1890 </li>
1891 <li>
1892 Yes: org-mode progresses very well and improves with each version
1893 </li>
1894 <li>
1895 for me its the greatest found treasure since I "dicovered" Emacs.
1896 </li>
1897 <li>
1898 Great work! Wish I had time to contribute more.
1899 </li>
1900 <li>
1901 Keep up the good work :)
1902 </li>
1903 <li>
1904 It's a great software project and community. Thanks again to
1905 everyone involved!
1906 </li>
1907 <li>
1908 Excellent piece of software!
1909 </li>
1910 <li>
1911 I'm very very happy with it.
1912 </li>
1913 <li>
1914 org-mode is fantastic :-)
1915 </li>
1916 <li>
1917 The best feature of Org are its two maintainers Carsten and Bastien
1918 and its helpful community.
1919 </li>
1920 <li>
1921 Great mode for emacs. I wish I was using it more
1922 </li>
1923 <li>
1924 It is great tool. Uncluttered. Thanks to Carsten et al.
1925 </li>
1926 <li>
1927 Rock on!
1928 </li>
1929 <li>
1930 favorite piece of software I use.
1931 </li>
1932 <li>
1933 I'm continually amazed by what org can do, and also by how intuitive
1934 it is. It's not at all unusual that I find myself thinking that it
1935 would be great if org/emacs did "x", trying what seems to me to be
1936 the way that it would do "x" if it could, and discovering that it
1937 functions just as I expect. And when it doesn't, there are ways to
1938 figure it out. (And Carsten is a great developer who shines at
1939 hearing what his users are doing, responding to expressed needs, and
1940 even being clear if/when he decides not to do what someone would
1941 like him to do. Other heavy users and scripters are great as well.
1942 </li>
1943 <li>
1944 I started using Org-mode as an outliner. It is the best outliner
1945 I've used an much more. The community is valuable but Carsten's
1946 skill and judgment has made org-mode what it is.
1947 </li>
1948 <li>
1949 It's a killer tool that I could not live without.
1950 </li>
1951 <li>
1952 org-mode is great, I hope it can keep clean text file when adding
1953 functions.
1954 </li>
1955 <li>
1956 I forced myself to learn emacs after 25+ years in the vi camp in
1957 order to use org-mode. Loving it. Carsten's enthusiasm and support
1958 are a joy, and the mailing list is always refreshing.
1959 </li>
1960 <li>
1961 I plan to run a website where users could share Org files and edit
1962 them together. I plan to write a better exporter (and more formats!)
1963 I think the Org syntax is mature enough to get more programs
1965 </li>
1966 <li>
1967 It's wonderful. Thanks!
1968 </li>
1969 <li>
1970 org-mode is a fantastic program, supported by a lively helpful email
1971 list. Carsten is very responsive to feature requests and helping.
