I don't think that at the moment org-mode can be more than solitary habit. The "problem" is that org-mode runs on emacs, and really a small percentage of people can/want to use emacs.

If I ever will be able to work with emacs-(ab)users org-mode can be really great to centralize documentation/agenda and everything we could think of.

But to communicate with "normal" people the only way that I see is some sort of program which understands org-files but don't let the user do nasty things.

I'm not sure that emacs (ab)use is the right frame of reference here. Shouldn't we be talking about interoperability standards here? Orgmode supports the same core set of data that other todo list tools and calendar tools support. In many cases, Orgmode can export cleanly, as the OP suggested. In a few cases, it can import. Can that be taken further? I just wanted to add my two cents for OM "playing well with others" and I'm curious as to what people are trying.
