Google Tech TalksJuly 15, 2008ABSTRACT Org-mode is a large Emacs sub-systems that has been integrated into Emacs with the version 22.1 release. From it original intend, Org-mode is a system for structured note-taking and project planning. It uses strictly plain text files, making it a truly portable, system-independent solution. The project-planning features are implemented using a fairly simple outlining paradigm, upon which meta-data concepts like due dates, priorities, TODO states and tags are overlayed in a non-intrusive way. Besides outlining the system and its basic concepts, I will give background information into the history of Org-mode and discuss the properties of such an evolved system compared to a top-down designed one. Finally, I will also briefly touch on some technical aspects that may be interesting for Emacs wizards and developers.Speaker: Carsten Dominik

Emacs is a great operating system, but it lacks a decent editor

3.Thanks a lot Carsten and the merry gang of org-moders.

2.Taskpaper/Omnifocus/Tiddlywiki/Thinking Rock/MyLifeOrganized/LifeBalance/etc. are all subset of Org mode in one way or the other. Org mode achieves it without enforcing format, interface or methodology complexity of any kind on you. It's fluid and it lets you mold it to suit your style. And if you ever reach one of those corner cases where you find it lacking; you participate on the mailing list and convince Carsten and others to add what you need.

1.I have been using Org mode for about an year now. I had tried a dozen or so online/offline/paper GTD apps and organizing systems but never could like anything. It's the first system that I have stuck with for more than 5 weeks. As a bonus, I am gaining expertise on arguably the best editors known. Org mode can/should be a reason in itself to learn Emacs.

Have you even ever tried Org mode or are you just trolling?

Someone needs to introduce this dude to OneNote. :-)

GTD should be part of the title for this for those searching for GTD related things
