Dear all,
the recent discussion about Taskpaper in the thread started
by Clint Laskowski has made me realize how much we have lost
out way with Org-mode. Org-mode was once a compact and
easy tool just like taskpaper. In fact, looking at the
features of taskpaper, one might think that they had

sometimes the joke reveals a truth. Sometimes only the reflection of a
truth. Let's wait unt
Dear all,
I hope that you will all forgive me my little joke. It worked so
well because there is a certain amount of truth in the matter, of
course, and I would like to address this in a more serious
manner.
Org-mode has indeed become very feature-rich in the run of the
years. However, while

I do agree with you. I only use a tiny subset of org's features:
Outlining, TODOs
My thoughtful suggestion has become the brunt of an April Fool's Joke?
I have half a mind to report you all to the Productivity Police! Fine!
I'm going back to paper and pencil for to-do lists, and mail, too!
We'll see how you like that!

Dear Carsten,
I was terribly shocked for about 18 seconds - my brain storming through
thoughts about protesting and forking the project and what else...
But as I am too convinced of the useful features of Org it became clear in a
moment

Let's assume it isn't.

To be honest, if I were looking for an outliner today as I was when I
found org-mode, I might have been scared off. Org-mode has gotten
very big. But as you said, the easy things are easy. There are a
great many feature in org-mode that I have not used nor have I had
time to learn to use. They

Hi everyone,
Last week I decided I want to keep history of my org-mode file changes.
I've accidentally lost things in the past when editing folded regions
and this gives me a way to get back to the old version without requiring
any extra steps during my normal work.

Speaking of tables today, I thought I'd post a question that I haven't
found a simple answer for.
How do you sum a table reliably? (ie: tolerant of editing)
This table requires the use of org-table-insert-row (etc...) in order
to keep the formula correct.

Has anyone out there set up a system to automatically create org entries
to journal outgoing emails to certain individuals? Ideally based on a
bbdb entry to journal that particular contact?

I started it, how much time was left, and also the current time. I've
