Our project is a uniquely rich life management and publishing tool,
with
immense potential for extension by virtue of its implementation in
emacs.
2. Complete this sentence, also in about 140 characters: "We should

community and we solve a universal problem."
We should win because org is an immensely flexible and yet razor-sharp
tool for users today, built out of code that will be extended for
decades to come.
[My two sentences are rather similar...]
3. Please provide a logo (or screenshot, if you'd prefer) for your
project. It should be at least 640x480, but we'll also be showing it
as a thumbnail.
I tend to think that we want a screenshot. I doubt it would be as hard
to describe all the features of any of our competitors as it is for
org!
So a screenshot seems like a good chance to pack it all in. I like
Brian's suggestion of split-windows. Maybe we could collaborate on a
bundle containing a minimal .emacs, color-theme code, and an org file
that sets up the color scheme, window confuguration and contents, and
people could submit patches / screenshots to improve it? [I like the
win
competition checkbox]
A friend of mine is working on a pretty nice color scheme that will
also work reasonably well with the unicorn icon next to it or
embedded. I hope that we can use that for a nice screen shot.
I like the idea to make a nice screen setup, with an Org file and the
agenda maybe, based on a simple example file.
We need to finish this stuff by Sunday (european time) because I am
traveling Monday/Tuesday and would like to send the stuff on Sunday at
the latest.

4. This one is optional, but it could make a big difference. We'd
like
to show our voters a video that introduces them to the core members
of
your team. Send along the URL (on YouTube) and we'll make sure they
see it!
6. Our finalists are usually pretty interesting people. Are you
willing to be contacted by our public relations team about interviews
with the press?
