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

163 <li>
164 2005, probably read about it on Sacha Chua's blog.
165 </li>
166 <li>
167 August 2007? Heard of it a long time ago, maybe by following links
168 from johnh's notebook mode. Finally switched from planner after a
169 friend did the same.

171 <li>
172 October 2007
173 </li>
174 <li>
175 about the begining of 2007. Heard about it on the internet I guess.
176 </li>
177 <li>
178 I found it by way of emacswiki.org. I was an avid user of outline
179 mode, and found somebody's screencast (Scott Jaderholm's, I think)
180 showing off org mode. I've been using it for probably about six
181 months.

208 about it.
209 </li>
210 <li>
211 Around version 4.76, don't remember when. Found about it on the

233 message board (probably Jason F. McBrayer) and I decided I'd check
234 it out.

243 I read about org-mail from an email of a maillist … dnon't know
244 which one
245 </li>
246 <li>
247 A year ago because someone mentioned it in #emacs on freenode as a
248 better planner-el solution
249 </li>
250 <li>
251 2 months ago when I started using Emacs. I was also looking for a

264 <li>
265 Around May 2007. I don't recall.

285 approx. March 2006. I don't recall how I found out about it.
286 </li>
287 <li>
288 I think I began using it in 2005. I found out about it on the
289 planner list.
290 </li>
291 <li>
292 it's been about a year, I can't remember how I found out about it,
293 maybe on the #emacs channel IRC.

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

330 <li>
331 I have a "org version 3.05" in my .emacs So it should be from spring
332 2005 (March? May?) I read an article in the web, a blog I think. so
333 I began using Emacs to use org (uh! :-)

343 June 2007. At may I started learning Emacs for the first time, and
344 together all its related modes. At #emacs at irc.freenode.org and at
345 EmacsWiki it was mentioned org-mode.

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

385 at emacswiki.org.

388 I started to use org-mode a year ago. I found org-mode on the emacs
389 wiki
390 </li>
391 <li>
392 2007, September, read about it on the pages explaining how it was
393 part of emacs-22
394 </li>
395 <li>
397 probably, there was an article (linux.com?).
398 </li>
399 <li>
401 </li>
402 <li>
403 at least as long as the newsgroup has been gmane, as I submitted it
404 there. I must have found out on emacs wiki?
405 </li>
406 <li>
407 ~March 2007. I was using planner and I think I saw references to it
408 there and checked it out.

599 1.) Note taking: web links, links to lines of code I'm working on,
600 bibtex entries. 2.) Brainstorming. When I'm trying to figure out how
601 to do something, I often fire up org-mode, dump a bunch of random
602 thoughts into it, and then organize it into something that makes
603 sense. 3.) Experiment logging. I use table node to store pretty much
604 all the results I've accumulated for my PhD thesis. 4.) TODO
605 lists. I thought I'd use the GTD capabilities on org-mode but can't
606 force myself to do it. But still, for little projects, I use the
607 TODO lists.

752 Original question:
753 </p>
754 <p>
755 What new features (if any) would you like to see in org-mode or do you
756 think the product has reached maturity?
757 </p>
758 <ul>
759 <li>
760 case sensitive search in tag completition - multilingual day name
761 input product has reached maturity in my opinion
762 </li>
763 <li>
764 nothing (for now)
765 </li>
766 <li>
767 A way to make it more Gnome friendly would be nice. In the case that
768 you don't have emacs started, you lose your ideas until you can note
769 them down.
770 </li>
771 <li>
772 I still haven't learnt enough to fully customize my environment.
773 </li>
774 <li>
775 Nothing specific, but I love the current state of development.
776 </li>
777 <li>
778 Syncing todos to other devices such as cellphones and palms, I know
779 it would not be very easy to do but would be extremely useful
780 </li>
781 <li>
782 No idea, sorry. I think it has enough features at present that seems
783 a bit intimidating, really. (Minor quibble – I changed some of the
784 keybindings. I prefer M-left/right to hide/show subtrees, rather
785 than cycling with tab, and use # instead of * for outline
786 levels. This is mostly habits from a "todo-mode" used on emacs
787 in-house where I work.)
788 </li>
789 <li>
790 I'm on the lookout for a cell phone that runs Emacs, but… I haven't
791 found any mechanisms for remotely adding/editing timestamps,
792 changing the state of TODO items, etc. Neither have I found a way to
793 trigger reminder sounds, e-mails, phone calls, or IM messages. I'm
795 web-interface like Webjimbo? More robust import/export/sync to iCal
796 or GData? If we can find a way to usefully sync org-mode with mobile
797 devices, it'll be just about perfect.
798 </li>
799 <li>
800 Current features are enough for me.
801 </li>
802 <li>
803 It is certainly mature. However I would also like to be able to use
804 it as a wiki and general-purpose document authoring/publishing
805 tool. In an ideal (and possibly unrealistic) world I would love to
806 see unification with muse-mode. To what extent is this possible?
807 </li>
808 <li>
809 I am still too new to it to comment on this.
810 </li>
811 <li>
812 It's quite mature and I surely don't master it. What I'd like to see
813 is easier manipulation of the agenda export.
814 </li>
815 <li>
816 Compatibility with other wiki syntax (importer or exporter)
817 </li>
818 <li>
819 too soon to know
820 </li>
821 <li>
822 Basically mature; I'd like to see refinement within the current
823 feature set.
824 </li>
825 <li>
826 You can always add new features! I would like to see an easy way to
827 tell how old my entries are. I would like to be able to derive a
828 task order based on importance and age (for tasks that don't have a
829 deadline but must be completed eventually). Also I would like to see
830 it integrated with other tools. I think a MindMap converter (for
831 FreeMind) would be cool - although it probably could be an external
832 script.
833 </li>
834 <li>
835 Export to WordprocessingML would be perfect. Currently I export to
836 HTML and read the reports into Word, saving them as *.doc. But you
837 loose some features and details doing this.
838 </li>
839 <li>
840 Integration out-of-the-box with remote calendar systems like Google
841 Calendar
842 </li>
843 <li>
844 Close to maturity. Some new features would be nice, but not terribly
845 important: Keeping root to leaf tree structure when archiving part
846 of a subtree. Simple dependent todos (i.e. dependent todo moves into
848 in HTML in monospaced font by default (i.e. without specially
849 marking individual entries). Auto-sorting of entries within a single
850 parent node (e.g. when a node is marked "DONE", move it lower in the
851 parent's list of todos). Integration with project management
852 software.
853 </li>
854 <li>
855 Some kind of resolution to the line wrapping issue with headlines.
856 </li>
857 <li>
858 Simpler ways of doing things (perhaps with mouse commands)
859 </li>
860 <li>
861 I'd say it's pretty close to maturity. I haven't used most of the
862 more recently-added advanced features.
863 </li>
864 <li>
865 I'd like easier customization of "workflow" steps that would make it
866 easier to update states and record notes related to state changes
867 (and skip these notes when the state transitions are obvious in
868 nature).
869 </li>
870 <li>
871 No immediate demands. I do not think the project has reached
872 maturity.
873 </li>
874 <li>
875 This product has reached maturity since long! In my point of view
876 this is. Excellent work!
877 </li>
878 <li>
879 depending tasks - integrated pdf-generation (especially for
880 windows) - visualisation for tasks (like gantt) - a minor mode for
881 contacts like vcard.el
882 </li>
883 <li>
884 I think it reached maturity. It would be nice to have some minor
885 things, like a posibility to insert todo's right inside your project
886 source code and then have them added in agenda automatically.
887 </li>
888 <li>
889 Instead of new features, I'd much prefer keeping XEmacs
890 compatibility
891 </li>
892 <li>
893 Wishlist - Adding arbitrary (user specified) relations between nodes
895 and y are two nodes. - Making the above functionality work between
896 files - making the above work between nodes published on a
897 distributed server In the GNU project GNOWSYS, we do this, where it
898 is a web application. We are now exploring how org mode can be used
899 as a client to manage the data published in GNOWSYS. Out team would
900 be more than willing to collaborate, but our team members are all
901 Python hackers, and use Emacs only for coding
902 </li>
903 <li>
904 I am having trouble keeping up with the many new features of the
905 last few months!
906 </li>
907 <li>
908 I think it is mature enough for me
909 </li>
910 <li>
911 automatic reminders in Emacs as pop ups?
912 </li>
913 <li>
914 I'm quite content as it is. I guess I could probably think of one or
915 two things, but I wouldn't want to spoil its power/simplicity
916 balance.
917 </li>
918 <li>
919 planing times for tasks and compare them to actuel used times (and
920 also give out a warning if to many hours are planed for one day) -
921 agenda export to latex - simple project management
922 </li>
923 <li>
924 a gtd framework would be a killer feature!! more visual effects with
925 overlays However, it's "d�éj�à " a very good work. Thanks.
926 </li>
927 <li>
928 very mature
929 </li>
930 <li>
931 Nearing maturity, but then again, maybe I'm just out of ideas.
932 </li>
933 <li>
934 I would like org-mode (or other parts of it like orgtbl) to become a
935 minor mode so I can turn it on/off in other buffers (mainly
936 muse). For example I would love to use todo list editing features in
937 emails.
938 </li>
939 <li>
940 I don't understant all the features yet :)
941 </li>
942 <li>
943 export facilitie
944 </li>
945 <li>
946 New features, in order of importance to me: 1.) A way to select a
947 chunk of text in firefox and paste it into org-mode, along with a
948 nicely formatted URL link. I would use this many times a day. MS
949 OneNote does this well. 2.) A way to link to email in an IMAP
950 folder. Preferably, this link would point directly to the email on
951 the IMAP server. The link should look like all the other links, and
952 you should be able to just drag it from, say, Thunderbird, into
953 org-mode, although a Thunderbird keyboard shortcut would be nice. I
954 would use this every day. 3.) More flexible outline prefixes. You
955 should be able to make headlines of this type: I. asdlfk i. asdfj
958 <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/hyperbole/">http://directory.fsf.org/project/hyperbole/</a> did this
959 beautifully. 4.) Internal links search in a way consistent with
960 emacs search (Ctrl-s). When you click on a link, it should go
961 towards the end of the buffer for the next match. When there's
962 nothing towards the end, it should wrap to the top. 5.) Fix the
963 underline/bold/italic stuff (if that is a new feature) 6.) Better
964 formatted html table export
965 </li>
966 <li>
967 Better support for working with others.
968 </li>
969 <li>
970 I would like to see different way to view or summarize ageda. Like
971 progress, next possible todo
972 </li>
973 <li>
974 I think org-mode is quite mature now except there may be still some
975 bugs in it and some features may need more polish
976 </li>
977 <li>
978 Too novice a user yet to comment
979 </li>
980 <li>
981 can't tell yet.
982 </li>
983 <li>
984 I like to be surprised more than wishing
985 </li>
986 <li>
987 I'd like better integration with calendar mode of
988 emacs. Specifically, when using the calendar, the command 'i d' to
989 insert an appointment, the diary file is used. I'd like to set a
990 headline in my orgmode buffer for that insert, for consistency with
991 the calendar entries I make by hand while processing my inbox Also,
992 navigation from agenda to org-file is easy. navigating back is
993 harder.
994 </li>
995 <li>
997 sub-head 2 Also lettered lists: a. point a b. point b but I'm
998 already quite satisfied
999 </li>
1000 <li>
1001 implement all features of muse-mode. Ex: list of pages, backlinks,
1002 following links with Enter, … - consistent and clear syntax for
1003 formatting text, which doesn't require memorizing use cases or
1005 </li>
1006 <li>
1007 syncing with my palm would be the greatest need. (syncing with
1008 outlook would do the job as outlook is snced with the palm)
1009 </li>
1010 <li>
1011 mostly small things like an isearch mode that only matches headlines
1012 (and doesn't auto expand), an allout-copy-exposed-to-buffer
1013 equivalent, hipster pda publishing
1014 </li>
1015 <li>
1016 I've too many ideas to write here. The only thing i can think of is
1017 not quite org related. A published bison or antlr grammar, so people
1018 can write org parsers/processors in other languages, and extend its
1019 integration into other systems.
1020 </li>
1021 <li>
1022 Org mode is fairly mature. Only the remaining inconsistencies should
1023 be straightened out.
1024 </li>
1025 <li>
1026 Hard to say, every so often I think of a feature that might be nice
1027 to have. I have a feeling that alternate views (like the agenda) to
1028 allow other ways of exploring your information would be handy, but I
1029 have no concrete ideas yet as to what they might be.
1030 </li>
1031 <li>
1032 Better exporting (for example better LaTeX export).
1033 </li>
1034 <li>
1035 The only thing I need is better integration with mh-e (I suspect it
1036 is already there - just need to find the time to sort it out). Other
1037 than that I am very content!
1038 </li>
1039 <li>
1040 I always wanted to be able to schedule a task for a specific week
1041 (as oposed to a date) - I would like to improve the hipsterPDA
1042 generation (export the agenda view as nice LaTeX, improve the
1043 cal-tex output, etc)
1044 </li>
1045 <li>
1046 Org grows faster than I can learn all those nice features. One
1047 feature I'd love to see was that the HTML export created docs that
1048 could be outlined like in an org buffer. I guess that's possible
1049 with some CSS.
1050 </li>
1051 <li>
1052 Task dependency for project planing
1053 </li>
1054 <li>
1055 At the moment, I'm still on the learning curve. Org-mode has
1056 soooooooooo many features I have not even discovered yet. I almost
1057 daily open the manual pages to see I there is something I can use.
1058 </li>
1059 <li>
1060 Probably, customization of built-in agenda view. But I'd rather see
1061 org-mode streamlined and cleaned of unnecessary
1062 complications. Properties should be either integrated more tightly
1063 to replace tags/priorities/etc, or removed.
1064 </li>
1065 <li>
1066 Looking forward to some of the dependency ideas.
1067 </li>
1068 <li>
1069 Import tasks from .ics files, include .ics files in agenda,
1070 eventually include remote .ics files in agenda. Would like an
1071 updated blogging tool that takes advantage of recent developments.
1072 </li>
1073 <li>
1074 I'm working on integration with my email client and web browser --
1075 it's a slow process because I'm not a programmer, but I'm learning
1076 bits and pieces about bash shell scripts and grabbing what I can
1077 from experts already using org.
1078 </li>
1079 <li>
1080 I'd like a way to set project (outline item) dependencies and to
1081 easily list those projects in dependency order. I could do it now
1082 with properties, a dynamic block and some elisp. I'd use markup more
1083 if it were more reliable in the emacs buffer. It might be nice to
1084 have a mode where rigid outline style indenting is enforced while
1085 editing outlines and lists. Perhaps as a buffer option or subtree
1086 property. None of this is necessary or worth calling org-mode
1087 immature.
1088 </li>
1089 <li>
1090 Not new features. But perhaps splitting org.el into different
1091 modules: one for outlining, one for doc format (Wiki engine), one
1092 for GTD
1093 </li>
1094 <li>
1095 block quote text support. like wiki {{{ This is quote text }}}
1096 Currently only putting ':' at beginning of text or heading.
1097 </li>
1098 <li>
1099 I hope a better archive mechanism using C-c C-x C-c, which could
1100 keep the structure in my org file.
1101 </li>
1102 <li>
1103 Seems mature; new features always interesting but can add a layer of
1104 too-many-choices distraction. (See prioritizing problems above ;) )
1105 </li>
1106 <li>
1107 New summary type {%} for progress status. Real comment syntax.
1108 </li>
1109 <li>
1110 I use only a fraction of its features.
1111 </li>
1112 <li>
1113 Mature
1115 </li>
1116 </ul></div>
1122 <p>
1123 Original question:
1124 Which topics or "how-to" guides would you like to see in the
1125 documentation or as a tutorial or screencast?
1126 </p>
1127 <ul>
1128 <li>
1129 none. documentation is excellent
1130 </li>
1131 <li>
1132 how to prepare/export/print GTD file to A7(index cards hPDA (hipster
1133 PDA) forms
1134 </li>
1135 <li>
1136 Everything should be a screencast for new users.
1137 </li>
1138 <li>
1139 I'd love to see more examples (with code) of how people use org,
1140 especially for implementing GTD.
1141 </li>
1142 <li>
1143 More detailed information about blogging would be great, especially
1144 motivation for using org.
1145 </li>
1146 <li>
1147 The manual and refcard usually have me covered. An in-depth
1148 screencast on table/calc might be nice.
1149 </li>
1150 <li>
1151 More stuff about methodology to use it.
1152 </li>
1153 <li>
1154 Screencasts are most helpful to me. I would like to see material on
1155 publishing and blogging in particular
1156 </li>
1157 <li>
1158 Project lifecycle. Timesheet reports.
1159 </li>
1160 <li>
1161 Exporting to other formats and customizing that
1162 </li>
1163 <li>
1164 lot of screencast showing new features of org (such as one already
1165 done)
1166 </li>
1167 <li>
1168 The documentation is actually rather good as it is, haven't found
1169 anything lacking yet.
1170 </li>
1171 <li>
1172 Integration with remember
1173 </li>
1174 <li>
1175 Integrating org-mode with pine/alpine mailer.
1176 </li>
1177 <li>
1178 Not sure who you want to target. Advanced users are your bread and
1179 butter and probably are OK. Beginners should get some screencasts
1180 that describe a common problem and just focuses an how org mode can
1181 help them. A good example is something like when someone's todo list
1182 gets too long and complex and they want to split it, but maintain
1183 connections between items on various lists, or perhaps view a
1184 chronological list of all items in one location. Org mode is the
1185 only program I know of the handles this kind of complexity
1186 gracefully.
1187 </li>
1188 <li>
1189 In depth explanation of using the agenda to its fullest
1190 </li>
1191 <li>
1192 I'd love to see one on setting up column views. A tutorial on
1193 publishing files would be great. And one about creating custom
1194 agenda views.
1195 </li>
1196 <li>
1197 Changing the keybindings to make specific state transitions easier
1198 to enter
1199 </li>
1200 <li>
1201 don't know as of yet …
1202 </li>
1203 <li>
1204 using the spreadsheet with merged cells, calculation for rows and
1205 columns - showing the true meaning of the properties stuff - over
1206 all there should be examples - i really dislike the manual form
1207 orgmode.org because it is technical oriented not for the simple
1208 user - more howtos for gtd -> learning from each other
1209 </li>
1210 <li>
1211 Different usages of org-mode. From GTD to other ways …
1212 </li>
1213 <li>
1214 I find the manual well written and sufficient.
1215 </li>
1216 <li>
1217 Use of drawers and properties.
1218 </li>
1219 <li>
1220 HOw to organize multiple projects; auto-archival.
1221 </li>
1222 <li>
1223 org spreadsheet
1224 </li>
1225 <li>
1226 Since Org-mode is (to me) a collection of "orthogonal" features, but
1227 doesn't much impose structure, I'd be interested in seeing how
1228 others organise their data and "bring it to life" with the Org-mode
1229 features.
1230 </li>
1231 <li>
1232 none
1233 </li>
1234 <li>
1235 more documentation for org's lisp functions (in fact more examples
1236 with org's lisp funtions!!)
1237 </li>
1238 <li>
1239 remember mode integration
1240 </li>
1241 <li>
1242 I prefer the documentation and experimentation. Need drives my
1243 learning.
1244 </li>
1245 <li>
1246 I don't have any preferences.
1247 </li>
1248 <li>
1249 Can't think of any
1250 </li>
1251 <li>
1252 I think a new user would benefit from a screencast showing basic
1253 hierarchy creation and navigation

1256 Remember Practical uses of properties
1257 </li>
1258 <li>
1259 I would like to see more people to share their ways of using org
1260 model
1261 </li>
1262 <li>
1263 The documentation is already very good and it seems the manual is
1264 never out of sync from the latest org-mode version. I found the
1265 mailing list is the best source of "how-to" as people's individual
1266 situations are so much different.
1267 </li>
1268 <li>
1269 more of org for gtd
1270 </li>
1271 <li>
1272 how to deal with the calendar and insert dates quickly - two-way
1273 backends for groupware-like behavior - calender functionality for
1274 scheduled events (receive popups or emails or sms or the like) -
1275 probably more but it's too early to say
1276 </li>
1277 <li>
1278 drawers + table calculations
1279 </li>
1280 <li>
1281 Using org-mode as a calendar/planner. Perhaps a best practice around
1282 where date- and time-stamps belong (in the headline? in a SCHEDULED:
1283 property? DEADLINE: property?) Also, it would be helpful to be shown
1284 the best practices around Categories (since they show up so
1285 prominently in the agenda) I wanted them to be like David Allen's
1286 "Contexts", but that's hard for me to manage.

1308 I'm still not familiar with the more advanced features of org-mode,
1309 so I'm keen to see these areas explored in tutorials and guides.
1310 </li>
1311 <li>
1312 The spreadsheet.
1313 </li>
1314 <li>
1315 None that I would be interested in, although I accept that new users
1316 would benefit from them.
1317 </li>
1318 <li>
1319 I think column-view is a great feature. Bastiens tutorial is good,
1320 but I'm thinking a tutorial focused more on the use case as opposed
1321 to the config option might be better. If I find time :-)
1322 </li>
1323 <li>
1324 I don't know if it's just me, but currently I make no use of
1325 tags. So any how-to or screencasts of how to use categories and tags
1326 together in a senseful way would be nice. Most usages of tags I've
1327 seen so far where tags like :phonecall: or :appoitment:, but when I
1329 </li>
1330 <li>
1331 I would welcome such how-to's and offer to help. The drawback of
1332 screencasts is they take a long time, and there is no way a viewer
1333 can tell it will be usefull to sit it all out. A guide giving
1334 examples (and using short screencasts, if necessary) gives the
1335 reader an overview, he/she can skip sections and browse to a
1336 chapter/paragraph deemed usefull. I would like to learn howto tweak
1337 my custom built todo-lists so that some of the statuses show up in
1338 the agenda, and others don't. Example WRITE should be on the agenda,
1339 but INVOICE not really. But the intermediate VERIFY should.
1340 </li>
1341 <li>
1342 More on GTD. Agenda customization.
1343 </li>
1344 <li>
1345 More on column mode and new uses of properties.
1346 </li>
1347 <li>
1348 I know there are books and howtos about lisp, but it would be great
1349 to see some smaller howtos that are specific to org applications,
1350 and code samples.
1351 </li>
1352 <li>
1353 The remember mode stuff scares me. I need to take some time learn
1354 it. I also know agenda can do a lot more than I do with it. I'd like
1355 to see screen shots of of column mode to drool over since I'm not
1356 running emacs 22 yet.
1357 </li>
1358 <li>
1359 can't thing of any

1747 Thanks for this great software, I've waited for years for such a
1748 tool. I've wrote some tools around org in Perl, hopefully I'll find
1749 some time to contribute. Thanx a lot
1750 </li>
1751 <li>
1752 Great tool to stay even longer in emacs OS :-)
1753 </li>
1754 <li>
1755 Thanks!
1756 </li>
1757 <li>
1758 Great App, Great Support, Great Community
1759 </li>
1760 <li>
1761 org-mode is all-the-way cool.
1762 </li>
1763 <li>
1764 With the possible exception of Emacs itself, org-mode is my very
1765 favorite bit of software. It has inspired me to learn LISP, so I'm
1766 looking forward to contributing in the near future.
1767 </li>
1768 <li>
1769 It's fantastic and the maintainership and community are both second
1770 to none!
1771 </li>
1772 <li>
1773 Later. :)
1774 </li>
1775 <li>
1776 Great mode and very useful. Thanks a lot for your effort and time!

1778 <li>
1779 Great Work ! Felicitation to its author
1780 </li>
1781 <li>
1782 It's indispensable for my current work and lifestyle.
1783 </li>
1784 <li>
1785 It is a great package, thanks for making it available and keeping
1786 it alive!
1787 </li>
1788 <li>
1789 Thanks for the org-mode. I just love it! Do all my personal and job
1790 planning with it!
1791 </li>
1792 <li>
1793 Great tool, thanks thanks thanks :)
1794 </li>
1795 <li>
1796 It's fantastic – thanks for the great tool. I'm getting older and
1797 it's the only way I can "remember" everything. It's not just a great
1798 todo list manager, but I use it to document almost everything about
1799 my job (e.g. my original intentions about a
1800 project/implementation). I can bury a TODO right down in the place
1801 where I have most of the surrounding documentation.
1802 </li>
1803 <li>
1804 I cannot overstate how valuable this mode is. It single handedly has
1805 the potential to make laypeople aware of Emacs. Thanks so much for
1806 working on it!
1807 </li>
1808 <li>
1809 Love it. Love it. Love it. Carsten is awesome.
1810 </li>
1811 <li>
1812 It's changing very fast, and I'm worried that my muscle memory will
1813 start to fight against the changes. Still, it's good to see an Emacs
1814 package with such active interest and support.
1815 </li>
1816 <li>
1817 I'm a happy user. Thanks to Carten and all contributors

1820 great guys on the mailinglist, great spirit, excellent product :-)
1821 </li>
1822 <li>
1823 Carsten, many thanks for this great piece of software! Keep it
1824 simple and usuable - not everybody follows the power user discussion
1825 in gmane
1826 </li>
1827 <li>
1828 Keep up the great work! :)
1829 </li>
1830 <li>
1831 Thanks to Carsten and to people on emacs-orgmode !!
1832 </li>
1833 <li>
1834 Been a user of GNU Emacs for the last 18years, never seen such a
1835 fascinating major mode. I like this kind of apps since I work in
1836 knowledge organization, and would like to contribute in some
1837 way. Our lab gnowledge.org would like to develop a java applet that
1838 provides org mode kind of editing. The buffer thus produced will be
1839 converted into html when the page is being served in the
1840 background. This will encourage the community to do structured
1841 documentation. Our lab is now engaged in developing
1842 beta.selfplatform.eu, where in we would like to provide this
1843 feature. Do you think, orgmode developers would like to help us or
1844 contribute in this endeavor. Orgmode can be very useful for
1845 furthering semantic computing.
1846 </li>
1847 <li>
1848 It is a great product. I does not need to grow. It might risk
1849 feature creep.
1850 </li>
1851 <li>
1852 Excellent package
1853 </li>
1854 <li>
1855 Thank you, Carsten!
1856 </li>
1857 <li>
1858 Has increased my productivity a lot!
1859 </li>
1860 <li>
1862 they say in France!!!!
1863 </li>
1864 <li>
1865 Org-mode was relatively immature when I started using it, and I have
1868 it claims to do, and does it well
1869 </li>
1870 <li>
1871 Org mode keeps me organized, it's outstanding!
1872 </li>
1873 <li>
1874 hmmh, org-mode is the first thing I start in the morning and the
1875 last I close in the evening, I guess this tells it all.
1876 </li>
1877 <li>
1878 Org mode has been an incredibly useful tool that is fun to use. I
1879 think a main reason for its utility is that basic use requires
1880 little thought. When I'm using it for brainstorming, it's almost
1881 like I'm not aware that I'm using any program – I'm just
1882 thinking. Any changes to org-mode should preserve this
1883 simplicity. Thanks a ton to Carsten and all the others who have
1884 contributed to this great project!
1885 </li>
1886 <li>
1887 Thank you Carsten!
1888 </li>
1889 <li>
1890 Maybe we should consider a separate package or maintainer for
1891 xemacs….
1892 </li>
1893 <li>
1894 Thanks, thanks and thanks.
1895 </li>
1896 <li>
1897 Good stuff. thanks
1898 </li>
1899 <li>
1900 It's Fun. ASCII is usually the only interface I can get used to,
1901 because it's so fast.
1902 </li>
1903 <li>
1904 org-mode makes me look organised (though a bit quirky). That's
1905 enough reason to use it.
1906 </li>
1907 <li>
1908 Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
1909 </li>
1910 <li>
1911 Even if org-mode stands right where it is, it has been enormously
1912 helpful. Thank you very, very much.
1913 </li>
1914 <li>
1915 Well done
1916 </li>
1917 <li>
1918 Yes: org-mode progresses very well and improves with each version
1919 </li>
1920 <li>
1921 for me its the greatest found treasure since I "dicovered" Emacs.
1922 </li>
1923 <li>
1924 Great work! Wish I had time to contribute more.
1925 </li>
1926 <li>
1927 Keep up the good work :)
1928 </li>
1929 <li>
1930 It's a great software project and community. Thanks again to
1931 everyone involved!
1932 </li>
1933 <li>
1934 Excellent piece of software!
1935 </li>
1936 <li>
1937 I'm very very happy with it.
1938 </li>
1939 <li>
1940 org-mode is fantastic :-)
1941 </li>
1942 <li>
1943 The best feature of Org are its two maintainers Carsten and Bastien
1944 and its helpful community.
1945 </li>
1946 <li>
1947 Great mode for emacs. I wish I was using it more
1948 </li>
1949 <li>
1950 It is great tool. Uncluttered. Thanks to Carsten et al.
1951 </li>
1952 <li>
1953 Rock on!
1954 </li>
1955 <li>
1956 favorite piece of software I use.
1957 </li>
1958 <li>
1959 I'm continually amazed by what org can do, and also by how intuitive
1960 it is. It's not at all unusual that I find myself thinking that it
1961 would be great if org/emacs did "x", trying what seems to me to be
1962 the way that it would do "x" if it could, and discovering that it
1963 functions just as I expect. And when it doesn't, there are ways to
1964 figure it out. (And Carsten is a great developer who shines at
1965 hearing what his users are doing, responding to expressed needs, and
1966 even being clear if/when he decides not to do what someone would
1967 like him to do. Other heavy users and scripters are great as well.
1968 </li>
1969 <li>
1970 I started using Org-mode as an outliner. It is the best outliner
1971 I've used an much more. The community is valuable but Carsten's
1972 skill and judgment has made org-mode what it is.
1973 </li>
1974 <li>
1975 It's a killer tool that I could not live without.
1976 </li>
1977 <li>
1978 org-mode is great, I hope it can keep clean text file when adding
1979 functions.
1980 </li>
1981 <li>
1982 I forced myself to learn emacs after 25+ years in the vi camp in
1983 order to use org-mode. Loving it. Carsten's enthusiasm and support
1984 are a joy, and the mailing list is always refreshing.
1985 </li>
1986 <li>
1987 I plan to run a website where users could share Org files and edit
1988 them together. I plan to write a better exporter (and more formats!)
1989 I think the Org syntax is mature enough to get more programs
1991 </li>
1992 <li>
1993 It's wonderful. Thanks!
1994 </li>
1995 <li>
1996 org-mode is a fantastic program, supported by a lively helpful email
1997 list. Carsten is very responsive to feature requests and helping.
