Aloha all,
I was just looking at the Org mode web site and thought this edit might
contribute to the discussion.
This text at the top of Org mode web site:
Org mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, doing project
planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system.

I describe Org-mode to people using something like: «Org-mode is a
very large box of LEGO bricks. What it does for you? It depends on

Orgmode: your life, in plain text.

Wow! Great thread.

What about starting with a quote by Dr. Stefan Vollmar:
It's difficult to say what exactly Emacs' Org-mode will do for you; it's
easier to list all things it doesn't do

I had to describe orgmode to a young colleague of mine... and I came

The text isn't that bad, but you are right. Babel and exports is
perhaps underrepresented. This one is slightly different, but perhaps
