Hi, today I have a request/proposal to make.
If you look around of the web and search for "emacs" and "org-mode", you will see that the two documents that had the biggest impact in getting new users interested in Org-mode are - David O'Toole's Tutorial of basic structure and TODO lists http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/OrgTutorial.html - Charles Cave's writeup about Org-mode and GTD at http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/orgmode.html The impact of these two document has been huge, much more than the manual or my (admittedly quite boring) web page. This is why I tink it would be great to have more tutorials. There are several areas where a step-by-step tutorial, with lots of screen shots in the way David wrote his could be easily made. If you have been thinking about a way to give a contribution back to Org-mode (and I know there are people who did), this might be a way to do this without having to be a Lisp programmer. Areas I can think of, which could be well describe with a tutorial with screen shots are: - Table editor basics - Formulas in tables - Hyperlinks - Setting and using Tags - Properties and column view - Timestamps and project planning - How you, personally, use Org-mode for plannig and monitoring your tasks (we could have *many* of those). The summer break is near, and you cannot sit on the beach for ever :-) - Carsten _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
