|
* 3. When did you first start using org-mode and how did you find out about it?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Org 5.04, Aug 2007 - Searching around the Web
|
|||
|
- 2007, December found about in in emacs wiki
|
|||
|
- November 2006, found it while googling GTD tools
|
|||
|
- moved from planner about 6 months ago
|
|||
|
- 2005, probably read about it on Sacha Chua's blog.
|
|||
|
- August 2007? Heard of it a long time ago, maybe by following links
|
|||
|
from johnh's notebook mode. Finally switched from planner after a
|
|||
|
friend did the same.
|
|||
|
- October 2007
|
|||
|
- about the begining of 2007. Heard about it on the internet I guess.
|
|||
|
- I found it by way of emacswiki.org. I was an avid user of outline
|
|||
|
mode, and found somebody's screencast (Scott Jaderholm's, I think)
|
|||
|
showing off org mode. I've been using it for probably about six
|
|||
|
months.
|
|||
|
- Oct. 2007. I think I was looking for an alternative to planner.el.
|
|||
|
- august 27, 2006. I found it while looking for an alternative to
|
|||
|
planner.
|
|||
|
- Roughly 2005/6, through a friend.
|
|||
|
- 2007-Nov. Google.
|
|||
|
- July 2007 after I saw the entry in Emacswiki
|
|||
|
- april 2007
|
|||
|
- 2007-06 thrrough Sacha Chua's blog
|
|||
|
- Oldest entry in my archive file is June 2005, but I think I was
|
|||
|
using org for a while before that. I don't remember when I heard
|
|||
|
about it.
|
|||
|
- Around version 4.76, don't remember when. Found about it on the
|
|||
|
Emacs Wiki.
|
|||
|
- 10/2006 by chance looking for pim tools for Emacs
|
|||
|
- One month ago, found a link on a web site
|
|||
|
- 11/2005
|
|||
|
- 02/2007 After getting annoyed with Muse-mode interaction with
|
|||
|
outline-mode, I googled and found org-mode and never went back.
|
|||
|
- Using for about 2 years. Found org-mode after searching for a better
|
|||
|
version of outline-mode
|
|||
|
- Sometime around Jan. 2005. Someone mentioned it on the 43folders.com
|
|||
|
message board (probably Jason F. McBrayer) and I decided I'd check
|
|||
|
it out.
|
|||
|
- August 2007. I heard it about it on the planner mode mailing list.
|
|||
|
- 6-12 months ago!
|
|||
|
- I read about org-mail from an email of a maillist ... dnon't know
|
|||
|
which one
|
|||
|
- A year ago because someone mentioned it in #emacs on freenode as a
|
|||
|
better planner-el solution
|
|||
|
- 2 months ago when I started using Emacs. I was also looking for a
|
|||
|
way to organize and found org-mode via blogs etc.
|
|||
|
- 3 month ago. I was looking forward some emacs "PIM".
|
|||
|
- 2007 September
|
|||
|
- Can't remember; at least two years ago? I think I would have first
|
|||
|
heard about it from the Emacs Wiki.
|
|||
|
- Around May 2007. I don't recall.
|
|||
|
- No idea 6 months back probably; on the wiki site I think
|
|||
|
- 2007-08 First heard mention in a GTD mailing list, but realised it
|
|||
|
was going to be great after seeing screencast at
|
|||
|
http://jaderholm.com/screencasts.html
|
|||
|
- 2007
|
|||
|
- almost 2 years emacs newsgroups
|
|||
|
- 2006-08 (version 4.50)
|
|||
|
- approx. March 2006. I don't recall how I found out about it.
|
|||
|
- I think I began using it in 2005. I found out about it on the
|
|||
|
planner list.
|
|||
|
- it's been about a year, I can't remember how I found out about it,
|
|||
|
maybe on the #emacs channel IRC.
|
|||
|
- 2007-03 www.emacswiki.org
|
|||
|
- 1/2007 emacs NEWS
|
|||
|
- In 2005, I found out about org-mode while googling for some kind of
|
|||
|
outliner software. My search must have hit upon a listserv post. My
|
|||
|
first try at using it was in June 2005, but I didn't like
|
|||
|
it. Carsten made many improvements and in December 2005, he emailed
|
|||
|
me to ask me what I thought. It thought it was pretty good, and I've
|
|||
|
been using it almost every day since.
|
|||
|
- October 2006. Saw orgmode mentioned in comments on 43folders.com
|
|||
|
- 2007 july, emacs wiki
|
|||
|
- Around September 2007. I first knew it from planner-mode mailing
|
|||
|
list. I used to use planner-mode.
|
|||
|
- Oct 2007
|
|||
|
- 2007-09 NEWS in Gnu Emacs 22
|
|||
|
- 21 april 2006 (was the oldest .org file I could find on my
|
|||
|
system). Found out through... #emacs I think. dto was talking about
|
|||
|
it.
|
|||
|
- I have a "org version 3.05" in my .emacs So it should be from spring
|
|||
|
2005 (March? May?) I read an article in the web, a blog I think. so
|
|||
|
I began using Emacs to use org (uh! :-)
|
|||
|
- August 2007 Slashdot article on GTD Wired article on GTD Google
|
|||
|
search for GTD found org-mode tutorial.
|
|||
|
- Sep 2005
|
|||
|
- June 2007. At may I started learning Emacs for the first time, and
|
|||
|
together all its related modes. At #emacs at irc.freenode.org and at
|
|||
|
EmacsWiki it was mentioned org-mode.
|
|||
|
- 2007-04 I was into emacs learning and stumbled upon org-mode I don't
|
|||
|
remember where.
|
|||
|
- 2007 February, emacswiki.org and discussions on the planner.el
|
|||
|
mailing list
|
|||
|
- Sometime before April 2006
|
|||
|
- About 1 year ago.
|
|||
|
- April 2006 (ca org-mode 4.25) Switching from Planner after numerous
|
|||
|
mentions of org on the planner mailing list.
|
|||
|
- October 2006
|
|||
|
- In june 2006. By reading the tutorial here:
|
|||
|
http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/OrgTutorial.html
|
|||
|
- Aug 2005 After trying out Sacha's planning mode i knew it was close,
|
|||
|
but not quite right for me. Googling around I found org mode.
|
|||
|
- Probably 2004, before it had texinfo documentation or even before
|
|||
|
the agenda view
|
|||
|
- 2007/10
|
|||
|
- 2007-01 I think I've read a blog about it or I've stumbled across it
|
|||
|
at emacswiki.org.
|
|||
|
- I started to use org-mode a year ago. I found org-mode on the emacs
|
|||
|
wiki
|
|||
|
- 2007, September, read about it on the pages explaining how it was
|
|||
|
part of emacs-22
|
|||
|
- November-December 2006, after googling for "emacs pim". Or,
|
|||
|
probably, there was an article (linux.com?).
|
|||
|
- 5/2006, after emacswiki or web tutorial
|
|||
|
- at least as long as the newsgroup has been gmane, as I submitted it
|
|||
|
there. I must have found out on emacs wiki?
|
|||
|
- ~March 2007. I was using planner and I think I saw references to it
|
|||
|
there and checked it out.
|
|||
|
- I subscribed to the list in 8/06. Maybe a month or two before that.
|
|||
|
- 2007-01-01
|
|||
|
- 2007/01, by a org-mode tutorial.
|
|||
|
- I can't remember that. I used to use planner-mode. When someone
|
|||
|
mentioned org-mode on that mailing list, I decided to have a try.
|
|||
|
- 2006-03 -- via your (Charles Cave) posting of 2006-03-10 to Getting Things Done

|||

|
|||
|
- Around march 2006?
|
|||

|
|||
|
- I use orgtbl-mode most of the time in muse files, that's how I came
|
|||
|
into contact with org-mode. I use it for writing (software)
|
|||
|
documentation, (work related) project planning, and measuring the
|
|||
|
time I work on projects.
|
|||
|
- planning my TODO list and more recently my agenda GTD style

|
|||
|
schedules) replacement for spreadsheet helper in LaTeX modes
|
|||
|
(orgtbl-mode)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- 1.) Note taking: web links, links to lines of code I'm working on,
|
|||
|
bibtex entries. 2.) Brainstorming. When I'm trying to figure out how
|
|||
|
to do something, I often fire up org-mode, dump a bunch of random
|
|||
|
thoughts into it, and then organize it into something that makes
|
|||
|
sense. 3.) Experiment logging. I use table node to store pretty much
|
|||
|
all the results I've accumulated for my PhD thesis. 4.) TODO
|
|||
|
lists. I thought I'd use the GTD capabilities on org-mode but can't
|
|||
|
force myself to do it. But still, for little projects, I use the
|
|||
|
TODO lists.
|
|||
|
- Action items Notes and lists Tables of passwords Publishing website
|
|||
|
- maintain my thoughts, experimental results and agenda
|
|||
|
- As a GTD tool to keep all aspects of my life organized.
|
|||
|
- Lists GTD
|
|||
|
- Just getting used to it. Try to organize primarily work stuff, maybe
|
|||
|
later will get into private things.
|
|||
|
- note taking, managing todo's, keeping track of time spent on a
|
|||
|
project and making tables.
|
|||
|
- Everything! :-) + keeping notes, + maintaining TODO lists +
|
|||
|
exploiting the Agenda facilities (wow!) + doing project planning +
|
|||
|
writing text and exporting in HTML + a 'database' for experiments
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
file system and web
|
|||
|

|
|||
|

|
|||

|
|||
|
to my org files via svn world-wide
|
|||
|

|||
|

|
|||
|
- Organizing my work.
|
|||
|
- Managing all my projects and todo lists using GTD, and managing my
|
|||
|
diary/calendar. Basically, I use it to manage my life - home, work,
|
|||
|
social etc. Also use it for hierarchical editing of files etc, but
|
|||
|
that is secondary.
|
|||
|
- day planner (in agenda view) - generation of hipsterPDA - easy
|
|||
|

* 5. New features and product maturity?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Original question:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
What new features (if any) would you like to see in org-mode or do you
|
|||
|
think the product has reached maturity?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- case sensitive search in tag completition - multilingual day name
|
|||
|
input product has reached maturity in my opinion
|
|||
|
- nothing (for now)
|
|||
|
- A way to make it more Gnome friendly would be nice. In the case that
|
|||
|
you don't have emacs started, you lose your ideas until you can note
|
|||
|
them down.
|
|||
|
- I still haven't learnt enough to fully customize my environment.
|
|||
|
- Nothing specific, but I love the current state of development.
|
|||
|
- Syncing todos to other devices such as cellphones and palms, I know
|
|||
|
it would not be very easy to do but would be extremely useful
|
|||
|
- No idea, sorry. I think it has enough features at present that seems
|
|||
|
a bit intimidating, really. (Minor quibble -- I changed some of the
|
|||
|
keybindings. I prefer M-left/right to hide/show subtrees, rather
|
|||
|
than cycling with tab, and use # instead of * for outline
|
|||
|
levels. This is mostly habits from a "todo-mode" used on emacs
|
|||
|
in-house where I work.)
|
|||
|
- I'm on the lookout for a cell phone that runs Emacs, but... I haven't
|
|||
|
found any mechanisms for remotely adding/editing timestamps,
|
|||
|
changing the state of TODO items, etc. Neither have I found a way to
|
|||
|
trigger reminder sounds, e-mails, phone calls, or IM messages. I'm
|
|||
|
not sure about the best way to approach "mobile org-mode"... A
|
|||
|
web-interface like Webjimbo? More robust import/export/sync to iCal
|
|||
|
or GData? If we can find a way to usefully sync org-mode with mobile
|
|||
|
devices, it'll be just about perfect.
|
|||
|
- Current features are enough for me.
|
|||
|
- It is certainly mature. However I would also like to be able to use
|
|||
|
it as a wiki and general-purpose document authoring/publishing
|
|||
|
tool. In an ideal (and possibly unrealistic) world I would love to
|
|||
|
see unification with muse-mode. To what extent is this possible?
|
|||
|
- I am still too new to it to comment on this.
|
|||
|
- It's quite mature and I surely don't master it. What I'd like to see
|
|||
|
is easier manipulation of the agenda export.
|
|||
|
- Compatibility with other wiki syntax (importer or exporter)
|
|||
|
- too soon to know
|
|||
|
- Basically mature; I'd like to see refinement within the current
|
|||
|
feature set.
|
|||
|
- You can always add new features! I would like to see an easy way to
|
|||
|
tell how old my entries are. I would like to be able to derive a
|
|||
|
task order based on importance and age (for tasks that don't have a
|
|||
|
deadline but must be completed eventually). Also I would like to see
|
|||
|
it integrated with other tools. I think a MindMap converter (for
|
|||
|
FreeMind) would be cool - although it probably could be an external
|
|||
|
script.
|
|||
|
- Export to WordprocessingML would be perfect. Currently I export to
|
|||
|
HTML and read the reports into Word, saving them as *.doc. But you
|
|||
|
loose some features and details doing this.
|
|||
|
- Integration out-of-the-box with remote calendar systems like Google
|
|||
|
Calendar
|
|||
|
- Close to maturity. Some new features would be nice, but not terribly
|
|||
|
important: Keeping root to leaf tree structure when archiving part
|
|||
|
of a subtree. Simple dependent todos (i.e. dependent todo moves into
|
|||
|
"NEXT" state when previous todo is marked "DONE"). Exporting entries
|
|||
|
in HTML in monospaced font by default (i.e. without specially
|
|||
|
marking individual entries). Auto-sorting of entries within a single
|
|||
|
parent node (e.g. when a node is marked "DONE", move it lower in the
|
|||
|
parent's list of todos). Integration with project management
|
|||
|
software.
|
|||
|
- Some kind of resolution to the line wrapping issue with headlines.
|
|||
|
- Simpler ways of doing things (perhaps with mouse commands)
|
|||
|
- I'd say it's pretty close to maturity. I haven't used most of the
|
|||
|
more recently-added advanced features.
|
|||
|
- I'd like easier customization of "workflow" steps that would make it
|
|||
|
easier to update states and record notes related to state changes
|
|||
|
(and skip these notes when the state transitions are obvious in
|
|||
|
nature).
|
|||
|
- No immediate demands. I do not think the project has reached
|
|||
|
maturity.
|
|||
|
- This product has reached maturity since long! In my point of view
|
|||
|
this is. Excellent work!
|
|||
|
- depending tasks - integrated pdf-generation (especially for
|
|||
|
windows) - visualisation for tasks (like gantt) - a minor mode for
|
|||
|
contacts like vcard.el
|
|||
|
- I think it reached maturity. It would be nice to have some minor
|
|||
|
things, like a posibility to insert todo's right inside your project
|
|||
|
source code and then have them added in agenda automatically.
|
|||
|
- Instead of new features, I'd much prefer keeping XEmacs
|
|||
|
compatibility
|
|||
|
- Wishlist - Adding arbitrary (user specified) relations between nodes
|
|||
|
with a specific relation name. for example, x <part of> y; where x
|
|||
|
and y are two nodes. - Making the above functionality work between
|
|||
|
files - making the above work between nodes published on a
|
|||
|
distributed server In the GNU project GNOWSYS, we do this, where it
|
|||
|
is a web application. We are now exploring how org mode can be used
|
|||
|
as a client to manage the data published in GNOWSYS. Out team would
|
|||
|
be more than willing to collaborate, but our team members are all
|
|||
|
Python hackers, and use Emacs only for coding
|
|||
|
- I am having trouble keeping up with the many new features of the
|
|||
|
last few months!
|
|||
|
- I think it is mature enough for me
|
|||
|
- automatic reminders in Emacs as pop ups?
|
|||
|
- I'm quite content as it is. I guess I could probably think of one or
|
|||
|
two things, but I wouldn't want to spoil its power/simplicity
|
|||
|
balance.
|
|||
|
- planing times for tasks and compare them to actuel used times (and
|
|||
|
also give out a warning if to many hours are planed for one day) -
|
|||
|
agenda export to latex - simple project management
|
|||
|
- a gtd framework would be a killer feature!! more visual effects with
|
|||
|
overlays However, it's "d<><64>j<EFBFBD><6A>" a very good work. Thanks.
|
|||
|
- very mature
|
|||
|
- Nearing maturity, but then again, maybe I'm just out of ideas.
|
|||
|
- I would like org-mode (or other parts of it like orgtbl) to become a
|
|||
|
minor mode so I can turn it on/off in other buffers (mainly
|
|||
|
muse). For example I would love to use todo list editing features in
|
|||
|
emails.
|
|||
|
- I don't understant all the features yet :)
|
|||
|
- export facilitie
|
|||
|
- New features, in order of importance to me: 1.) A way to select a
|
|||
|
chunk of text in firefox and paste it into org-mode, along with a
|
|||
|
nicely formatted URL link. I would use this many times a day. MS
|
|||
|
OneNote does this well. 2.) A way to link to email in an IMAP
|
|||
|
folder. Preferably, this link would point directly to the email on
|
|||
|
the IMAP server. The link should look like all the other links, and
|
|||
|
you should be able to just drag it from, say, Thunderbird, into
|
|||
|
org-mode, although a Thunderbird keyboard shortcut would be nice. I
|
|||
|
would use this every day. 3.) More flexible outline prefixes. You
|
|||
|
should be able to make headlines of this type: I. asdlfk i. asdfj
|
|||
|
ii. asdlfkj II. ... Or 1. Introduction 1.1 asdfkj 1.2
|
|||
|
asdfkl 2. Background ... Emacs hyperbole:
|
|||
|
http://directory.fsf.org/project/hyperbole/ did this
|
|||
|
beautifully. 4.) Internal links search in a way consistent with
|
|||
|
emacs search (Ctrl-s). When you click on a link, it should go
|
|||
|
towards the end of the buffer for the next match. When there's
|
|||
|
nothing towards the end, it should wrap to the top. 5.) Fix the
|
|||
|
underline/bold/italic stuff (if that is a new feature) 6.) Better
|
|||
|
formatted html table export
|
|||
|
- Better support for working with others.
|
|||
|
- I would like to see different way to view or summarize ageda. Like
|
|||
|
progress, next possible todo
|
|||
|
- I think org-mode is quite mature now except there may be still some
|
|||
|
bugs in it and some features may need more polish
|
|||
|
- Too novice a user yet to comment
|
|||
|
- can't tell yet.
|
|||
|
- I like to be surprised more than wishing
|
|||
|
- I'd like better integration with calendar mode of
|
|||
|
emacs. Specifically, when using the calendar, the command 'i d' to
|
|||
|
insert an appointment, the diary file is used. I'd like to set a
|
|||
|
headline in my orgmode buffer for that insert, for consistency with
|
|||
|
the calendar entries I make by hand while processing my inbox Also,
|
|||
|
navigation from agenda to org-file is easy. navigating back is
|
|||
|
harder.
|
|||
|
- possibly nested numbered lists: 1. head 1 1.1 sub-head 1 1.2
|
|||
|
sub-head 2 Also lettered lists: a. point a b. point b but I'm
|
|||
|
already quite satisfied
|
|||
|
- implement all features of muse-mode. Ex: list of pages, backlinks,
|
|||
|
following links with Enter, ... - consistent and clear syntax for
|
|||
|
formatting text, which doesn't require memorizing use cases or
|
|||
|
exceptions (ex: *a* isn't bold)
|
|||
|
- syncing with my palm would be the greatest need. (syncing with
|
|||
|
outlook would do the job as outlook is snced with the palm)
|
|||
|
- mostly small things like an isearch mode that only matches headlines
|
|||
|
(and doesn't auto expand), an allout-copy-exposed-to-buffer
|
|||
|
equivalent, hipster pda publishing
|
|||
|
- I've too many ideas to write here. The only thing i can think of is
|
|||
|
not quite org related. A published bison or antlr grammar, so people
|
|||
|
can write org parsers/processors in other languages, and extend its
|
|||
|
integration into other systems.
|
|||
|
- Org mode is fairly mature. Only the remaining inconsistencies should
|
|||
|
be straightened out.
|
|||
|
- Hard to say, every so often I think of a feature that might be nice
|
|||
|
to have. I have a feeling that alternate views (like the agenda) to
|
|||
|
allow other ways of exploring your information would be handy, but I
|
|||
|
have no concrete ideas yet as to what they might be.
|
|||
|
- Better exporting (for example better LaTeX export).
|
|||
|
- The only thing I need is better integration with mh-e (I suspect it
|
|||
|
is already there - just need to find the time to sort it out). Other
|
|||
|
than that I am very content!
|
|||
|
- I always wanted to be able to schedule a task for a specific week
|
|||
|
(as oposed to a date) - I would like to improve the hipsterPDA
|
|||
|
generation (export the agenda view as nice LaTeX, improve the
|
|||
|
cal-tex output, etc)
|
|||
|
- Org grows faster than I can learn all those nice features. One
|
|||
|
feature I'd love to see was that the HTML export created docs that
|
|||
|
could be outlined like in an org buffer. I guess that's possible
|
|||
|
with some CSS.
|
|||
|
- Task dependency for project planing
|
|||
|
- At the moment, I'm still on the learning curve. Org-mode has
|
|||
|
soooooooooo many features I have not even discovered yet. I almost
|
|||
|
daily open the manual pages to see I there is something I can use.
|
|||
|
- Probably, customization of built-in agenda view. But I'd rather see
|
|||
|
org-mode streamlined and cleaned of unnecessary
|
|||
|
complications. Properties should be either integrated more tightly
|
|||
|
to replace tags/priorities/etc, or removed.
|
|||
|
- Looking forward to some of the dependency ideas.
|
|||
|
- Import tasks from .ics files, include .ics files in agenda,
|
|||
|
eventually include remote .ics files in agenda. Would like an
|
|||
|
updated blogging tool that takes advantage of recent developments.
|
|||
|
- I'm working on integration with my email client and web browser --
|
|||
|
it's a slow process because I'm not a programmer, but I'm learning
|
|||
|
bits and pieces about bash shell scripts and grabbing what I can
|
|||
|
from experts already using org.
|
|||
|
- I'd like a way to set project (outline item) dependencies and to
|
|||
|
easily list those projects in dependency order. I could do it now
|
|||
|
with properties, a dynamic block and some elisp. I'd use markup more
|
|||
|
if it were more reliable in the emacs buffer. It might be nice to
|
|||
|
have a mode where rigid outline style indenting is enforced while
|
|||
|
editing outlines and lists. Perhaps as a buffer option or subtree
|
|||
|
property. None of this is necessary or worth calling org-mode
|
|||
|
immature.
|
|||
|
- Not new features. But perhaps splitting org.el into different
|
|||
|
modules: one for outlining, one for doc format (Wiki engine), one
|
|||
|
for GTD
|
|||
|
- block quote text support. like wiki {{{ This is quote text }}}
|
|||
|
Currently only putting ':' at beginning of text or heading.
|
|||
|
- I hope a better archive mechanism using C-c C-x C-c, which could
|
|||
|
keep the structure in my org file.
|
|||
|
- Seems mature; new features always interesting but can add a layer of
|
|||
|
too-many-choices distraction. (See prioritizing problems above ;) )
|
|||
|
- New summary type {%} for progress status. Real comment syntax.
|
|||
|
- I use only a fraction of its features.
|
|||
|
- Mature

* 6. Additional tutorials, documentation and screencasts would you like?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Original question:
|
|||
|
Which topics or "how-to" guides would you like to see in the
|
|||
|
documentation or as a tutorial or screencast?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- none. documentation is excellent
|
|||
|
- how to prepare/export/print GTD file to A7(index cards hPDA (hipster
|
|||
|
PDA) forms
|
|||
|
- Everything should be a screencast for new users.
|
|||
|
- I'd love to see more examples (with code) of how people use org,
|
|||
|
especially for implementing GTD.
|
|||
|
- More detailed information about blogging would be great, especially
|
|||
|
motivation for using org.
|
|||
|
- The manual and refcard usually have me covered. An in-depth
|
|||
|
screencast on table/calc might be nice.
|
|||
|
- More stuff about methodology to use it.
|
|||
|
- Screencasts are most helpful to me. I would like to see material on
|
|||
|
publishing and blogging in particular
|
|||
|
- Project lifecycle. Timesheet reports.
|
|||
|
- Exporting to other formats and customizing that
|
|||
|
- lot of screencast showing new features of org (such as one already
|
|||
|
done)
|
|||
|
- The documentation is actually rather good as it is, haven't found
|
|||
|
anything lacking yet.
|
|||
|
- Integration with remember
|
|||
|
- Integrating org-mode with pine/alpine mailer.
|
|||
|
- Not sure who you want to target. Advanced users are your bread and
|
|||
|
butter and probably are OK. Beginners should get some screencasts
|
|||
|
that describe a common problem and just focuses an how org mode can
|
|||
|
help them. A good example is something like when someone's todo list
|
|||
|
gets too long and complex and they want to split it, but maintain
|
|||
|
connections between items on various lists, or perhaps view a
|
|||
|
chronological list of all items in one location. Org mode is the
|
|||
|
only program I know of the handles this kind of complexity
|
|||
|
gracefully.
|
|||
|
- In depth explanation of using the agenda to its fullest
|
|||
|
- I'd love to see one on setting up column views. A tutorial on
|
|||
|
publishing files would be great. And one about creating custom
|
|||
|
agenda views.
|
|||
|
- Changing the keybindings to make specific state transitions easier
|
|||
|
to enter
|
|||
|
- don't know as of yet ...
|
|||
|
- using the spreadsheet with merged cells, calculation for rows and
|
|||
|
columns - showing the true meaning of the properties stuff - over
|
|||
|
all there should be examples - i really dislike the manual form
|
|||
|
orgmode.org because it is technical oriented not for the simple
|
|||
|
user - more howtos for gtd -> learning from each other
|
|||
|
- Different usages of org-mode. From GTD to other ways ...
|
|||
|
- I find the manual well written and sufficient.
|
|||
|
- Use of drawers and properties.
|
|||
|
- HOw to organize multiple projects; auto-archival.
|
|||
|
- org spreadsheet
|
|||
|
- Since Org-mode is (to me) a collection of "orthogonal" features, but
|
|||
|
doesn't much impose structure, I'd be interested in seeing how
|
|||
|
others organise their data and "bring it to life" with the Org-mode
|
|||
|
features.
|
|||
|
- none
|
|||
|
- more documentation for org's lisp functions (in fact more examples
|
|||
|
with org's lisp funtions!!)
|
|||
|
- remember mode integration
|
|||
|
- I prefer the documentation and experimentation. Need drives my
|
|||
|
learning.
|
|||
|
- I don't have any preferences.
|
|||
|
- Can't think of any
|
|||
|
- I think a new user would benefit from a screencast showing basic
|
|||
|
hierarchy creation and navigation
|
|||
|
- Remember Practical uses of properties
|
|||
|
- I would like to see more people to share their ways of using org
|
|||
|
model
|
|||
|
- The documentation is already very good and it seems the manual is
|
|||
|
never out of sync from the latest org-mode version. I found the
|
|||
|
mailing list is the best source of "how-to" as people's individual
|
|||
|
situations are so much different.
|
|||
|
- more of org for gtd
|
|||
|
- how to deal with the calendar and insert dates quickly - two-way
|
|||
|
backends for groupware-like behavior - calender functionality for
|
|||
|
scheduled events (receive popups or emails or sms or the like) -
|
|||
|
probably more but it's too early to say
|
|||
|
- drawers + table calculations
|
|||
|
- Using org-mode as a calendar/planner. Perhaps a best practice around
|
|||
|
where date- and time-stamps belong (in the headline? in a SCHEDULED:
|
|||
|
property? DEADLINE: property?) Also, it would be helpful to be shown
|
|||
|
the best practices around Categories (since they show up so
|
|||
|
prominently in the agenda) I wanted them to be like David Allen's
|
|||
|
"Contexts", but that's hard for me to manage.
|
|||
|
- All the variables that you must configure to be able to write and
|
|||
|
export an article successfully and without unexpected results - How
|
|||
|
to move from {muse,kwiki,reST,planner,...} to org-mode: how to adapt
|
|||
|
the syntax, ...
|
|||
|
- examples of how to columns view
|
|||
|
- real examples of different ways of using org-mode
|
|||
|
- Scope projects? integrate Org into a software development
|
|||
|
process/project? Handle <not at computer> org interactions?
|
|||
|
- Daily use of agenda
|
|||
|
- I'm still not familiar with the more advanced features of org-mode,
|
|||
|
so I'm keen to see these areas explored in tutorials and guides.
|
|||
|
- The spreadsheet.
|
|||
|
- None that I would be interested in, although I accept that new users
|
|||
|
would benefit from them.
|
|||
|
- I think column-view is a great feature. Bastiens tutorial is good,
|
|||
|
but I'm thinking a tutorial focused more on the use case as opposed
|
|||
|
to the config option might be better. If I find time :-)
|
|||
|
- I don't know if it's just me, but currently I make no use of
|
|||
|
tags. So any how-to or screencasts of how to use categories and tags
|
|||
|
together in a senseful way would be nice. Most usages of tags I've
|
|||
|
seen so far where tags like :phonecall: or :appoitment:, but when I
|
|||
|
have a TODO "Call Jim" or "Meet Jim" those are superluous...
|
|||
|
- I would welcome such how-to's and offer to help. The drawback of
|
|||
|
screencasts is they take a long time, and there is no way a viewer
|
|||
|
can tell it will be usefull to sit it all out. A guide giving
|
|||
|
examples (and using short screencasts, if necessary) gives the
|
|||
|
reader an overview, he/she can skip sections and browse to a
|
|||
|
chapter/paragraph deemed usefull. I would like to learn howto tweak
|
|||
|
my custom built todo-lists so that some of the statuses show up in
|
|||
|
the agenda, and others don't. Example WRITE should be on the agenda,
|
|||
|
but INVOICE not really. But the intermediate VERIFY should.
|
|||
|
- More on GTD. Agenda customization.
|
|||
|
- More on column mode and new uses of properties.
|
|||
|
- I know there are books and howtos about lisp, but it would be great
|
|||
|
to see some smaller howtos that are specific to org applications,
|
|||
|
and code samples.
|
|||
|
- The remember mode stuff scares me. I need to take some time learn
|
|||
|
it. I also know agenda can do a lot more than I do with it. I'd like
|
|||
|
to see screen shots of of column mode to drool over since I'm not
|
|||
|
running emacs 22 yet.
|
|||
|
- can't thing of any
|
|||
|
- Spreadsheet examples.
|
|||
|
- how-to setup a gtd style system is always my favorite.
|
|||
|
- Some experienced users' detailed explication of pros and cons of the
|
|||
|
newer TMTOWTDI (There's More Than One Way To Do It) choices like
|
|||
|
archiving methods, task states, etc. leading to -- you
|
|||
|
guessed it -- prioritizing problems
|
|||
|
- Building complex agenda views.
|
|||
|
- Dunno.
|
|||
|
- Setting up a publishing/blog environment

* 7. Which features of org-mode do you use? (Spreadsheet, LaTeX, HTML, Remember, etc)
|
|||
|
|

|

|
|||
|
- Use the agenda/tags views heavily. Tables, but not really
|
|||
|
spreadsheets.
|
|||
|
- Rememeber
|
|||
|
- remember, agenda views.
|
|||
|
- I'm sure I will use everything at some point. I've finally started
|
|||
|
using remember recently, about to start using HTML for blogging I
|
|||
|
think, and can imaging using LaTeX to print index cards even.
|
|||
|
- Todo-list, agenda - remember
|
|||
|
- Remember, agenda, I learned to use the tags / priorities, but they
|
|||
|
don't seem to fit my style of use.
|
|||
|
- Publish to HTML and LaTeX (although I'd prefer ConTeXt), dynamic
|
|||
|
blocks, orgstruct minor mode, and hyperlinks. I'm not sure if they
|
|||
|
count as a "feature", but I use deadlines, scheduling, and repeated
|
|||
|
tasks *a lot*.
|
|||
|
- remember, clock summary.
|
|||
|
- TODO keywords, tags, timestamps (inc. deadlines/scheduling),
|
|||
|
priorities, export to HTML/ics, tables, archiving, remember, custom
|
|||
|
agenda commands
|
|||
|
- Still exploring.. starting out with fundamentals as described in
|
|||
|
John Weigly's excellent write-up.
|
|||
|
- HTML, Remember
|
|||
|
- Basic planning, some html export, Wannt to use more features of org
|
|||
|
but lack of time
|
|||
|
- Remember, html
|
|||
|
- Much use of Remember, agenda, agenda todo lists. Some use of HTML
|
|||
|
and LaTeX. A little use of spreadsheet.
|
|||
|
- Starting to use spreadsheets and tables. I use the [/] feature to
|
|||
|
keep track of task counts a lot. I like the "radio" links too. Don't
|
|||
|
use the others much.
|
|||
|
- Export2HTML, Remember, Agenda
|
|||
|
- Remember, LaTex, ical export, Agenda and Diary integration
|
|||
|
- HTML. My usage is pretty basic.
|
|||
|
- LaTeX, HTML, Agenda, diary integration, Todo, outlining like crazy
|
|||
|
- Spreadsheet (for tables)
|
|||
|
- I use Remember, HTML, agenda views, hyperlinks, time-tracking,
|
|||
|
timestamps, and tags. I occasionally use tables, and plan on using
|
|||
|
the PROPERTIES drawer in the future. I don't currently use any
|
|||
|
advanced table formulas or column view, but I'm glad they're there.
|
|||
|
- Remember, basic task lists, and mostly the Agenda views.
|
|||
|
- LaTex, HTML, Remember, Cal, diary
|
|||
|
- all

- Document structure + hyperlinks, agenda + remember, exporting and
|
|||
|
publishing
|
|||
|
- writing documents, LaTeX, HTML.
|
|||
|
- Remember; tables.
|
|||
|
- Remember, and the todo features.
|
|||
|
- simple to do listing
|
|||
|
- A lot: Outlines, Tables, Spreadsheets, TODOs, Links, Tags,
|
|||
|
Timestamps, Clocking Time. A little: Agenda views, Properties and
|
|||
|
Columns Not at all: LaTeX, HTML, Remember I plan to increase my
|
|||
|
usage of all the above, apart from LaTeX, which I'll probably never
|
|||
|
use.
|
|||
|
- Remember
|
|||
|
- Remember, Latex, spreadsheet (with calc)
|
|||
|
- just to basic features
|
|||
|
- * TODO's, including ** Scheduling ** Deadlines ** Archiving (both
|
|||
|
tag and function) * Remember * LaTeX * export/HTML * Tables *
|
|||
|
org-publish * Agendas
|
|||
|
- spreadsheet, HTML
|
|||
|
- remember, agenda, priority
|
|||
|
- Remember
|
|||
|
- all
|
|||
|
- Basic outlining with tons of links of most types allowed. * Tables *
|
|||
|
HTML export * TODO's
|
|||
|
- Tables, HTML, Remember
|
|||
|
- table, agenda, remember
|
|||
|
- Probably the question is bettered asked with "which features of
|
|||
|
org-mode do you not use?" :-) It seems I have almost used everything
|
|||
|
except properties and drawers. Although I did not go into depth of
|
|||
|
many of them, like I never used a formula in the built in org-mode
|
|||
|
table.
|
|||
|
- tags, todos, links, timestamps
|
|||
|
- remember, agenda
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
categories
|

|
|||
|

|
- folding, TODOs, Agenda view, HTML generation, column-view
|
|||
|
- Spreadsheet, HTML, Remember, fast selection of TODO keywords, links
|
|||
|
to everywhere, extended timestamps and intervals
|
|||
|
- Spreadsheet, HTML
|
|||
|
- I use remember very often. I have not really touched the
|
|||
|
spreadsheet, don't need to. I use the deadline feature all the time
|
|||
|
and the [/] todo list type. I have experimented with export to html,
|
|||
|
in order to transport stuff to a very smart smart phone (iphone) but
|
|||
|
that requires more tweaking on my side.
|
|||
|
- todo and logging state changes, tags, priorities, hyperlinks,
|
|||
|
remember, timestamps, agenda, export to HTML.
|
|||
|
- Folding, spreadsheet, column mode, properties, schedule/agenda,
|
|||
|
org-remember, html export, todo, tags
|
|||
|
- I use everything except radio stuff and dynamic blocks, and I think
|
|||
|
I will use those soon. Don't use XOXO export either, I guess.
|
|||
|
- remember, tables, tasks, tags, archiving, calendar, html export, and
|
|||
|
I'm learning a bit about LaTeX.
|
|||
|
- In no particular order: tables, plain list folding, checkboxes and
|
|||
|
checkbox counting [/], multiple todo sequences, tags, properties,
|
|||
|
inactive dates, elisp formulas, html export, text export, in-buffer
|
|||
|
markups (*/_), subtree in indirect buffer, links
|
|||
|
- latex, html, remember
|
|||
|
- spreadsheet, remember, agenda, outline, property, column view
|
|||
|
- remember, archive, appointment, diary, timeclock
|
|||
|
- Remember for fast to-do adds; use tables occasionally but mostly use
|
|||
|
dedicated spreadsheet s/w for such functions. Hope to learn LaTeX at
|
|||
|
some point.
|
|||
|
- Agenda views Table editing Properties drawers HTML export LaTeX

|

* 10. Are there any other comments you would like to make about org-mode?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Thanks for this great software, I've waited for years for such a
|
|||
|
tool. I've wrote some tools around org in Perl, hopefully I'll find
|
|||
|
some time to contribute. Thanx a lot
|
|||
|
- Great tool to stay even longer in emacs OS :-)
|
|||
|
- Thanks!
|
|||
|
- Great App, Great Support, Great Community
|
|||
|
- org-mode is all-the-way cool.
|
|||
|
- With the possible exception of Emacs itself, org-mode is my very
|
|||
|
favorite bit of software. It has inspired me to learn LISP, so I'm
|
|||
|
looking forward to contributing in the near future.
|
|||
|
- It's fantastic and the maintainership and community are both second
|
|||
|
to none!
|
|||
|
- Later. :)
|
|||
|
- Great mode and very useful. Thanks a lot for your effort and time!
|
|||
|
- Great Work ! Felicitation to its author
|
|||
|
- It's indispensable for my current work and lifestyle.
|
|||
|
- It is a great package, thanks for making it available and keeping
|
|||
|
it alive!
|
|||
|
- Thanks for the org-mode. I just love it! Do all my personal and job
|
|||
|
planning with it!
|
|||
|
- Great tool, thanks thanks thanks :)
|
|||
|
- It's fantastic -- thanks for the great tool. I'm getting older and
|
|||
|
it's the only way I can "remember" everything. It's not just a great
|
|||
|
todo list manager, but I use it to document almost everything about
|
|||
|
my job (e.g. my original intentions about a
|
|||
|
project/implementation). I can bury a TODO right down in the place
|
|||
|
where I have most of the surrounding documentation.
|
|||
|
- I cannot overstate how valuable this mode is. It single handedly has
|
|||
|
the potential to make laypeople aware of Emacs. Thanks so much for
|
|||
|
working on it!
|
|||
|
- Love it. Love it. Love it. Carsten is awesome.
|
|||
|
- It's changing very fast, and I'm worried that my muscle memory will
|
|||
|
start to fight against the changes. Still, it's good to see an Emacs
|
|||
|
package with such active interest and support.
|
|||
|
- I'm a happy user. Thanks to Carten and all contributors
|
|||
|
- great guys on the mailinglist, great spirit, excellent product :-)
|
|||
|
- Carsten, many thanks for this great piece of software! Keep it
|
|||
|
simple and usuable - not everybody follows the power user discussion
|
|||
|
in gmane
|
|||
|
- Keep up the great work! :)
|
|||
|
- Thanks to Carsten and to people on emacs-orgmode !!
|
|||
|
- Been a user of GNU Emacs for the last 18years, never seen such a
|
|||
|
fascinating major mode. I like this kind of apps since I work in
|
|||
|
knowledge organization, and would like to contribute in some
|
|||
|
way. Our lab gnowledge.org would like to develop a java applet that
|
|||
|
provides org mode kind of editing. The buffer thus produced will be
|
|||
|
converted into html when the page is being served in the
|
|||
|
background. This will encourage the community to do structured
|
|||
|
documentation. Our lab is now engaged in developing
|
|||
|
beta.selfplatform.eu, where in we would like to provide this
|
|||
|
feature. Do you think, orgmode developers would like to help us or
|
|||
|
contribute in this endeavor. Orgmode can be very useful for
|
|||
|
furthering semantic computing.
|
|||
|
- It is a great product. I does not need to grow. It might risk
|
|||
|
feature creep.
|
|||
|
- Excellent package
|
|||
|
- Thank you, Carsten!
|
|||
|
- Has increased my productivity a lot!
|
|||
|
- Really a great thank to the author "Carsten Dominik", "chapeau" as
|
|||
|
they say in France!!!!
|
|||
|
- Org-mode was relatively immature when I started using it, and I have
|
|||
|
kept with it for 2 simple reasons: 1. The maintainer (Carsten) is
|
|||
|
friendly, fast, accurate, and thorough 2. It works -- it does what
|
|||
|
it claims to do, and does it well
|
|||
|
- Org mode keeps me organized, it's outstanding!
|
|||
|
- hmmh, org-mode is the first thing I start in the morning and the
|
|||
|
last I close in the evening, I guess this tells it all.
|
|||
|
- Org mode has been an incredibly useful tool that is fun to use. I
|
|||
|
think a main reason for its utility is that basic use requires
|
|||
|
little thought. When I'm using it for brainstorming, it's almost
|
|||
|
like I'm not aware that I'm using any program -- I'm just
|
|||
|
thinking. Any changes to org-mode should preserve this
|
|||
|
simplicity. Thanks a ton to Carsten and all the others who have
|
|||
|
contributed to this great project!
|
|||
|
- Thank you Carsten!
|
|||
|
- Maybe we should consider a separate package or maintainer for
|
|||
|
xemacs....
|
|||
|
- Thanks, thanks and thanks.
|
|||
|
- Good stuff. thanks
|
|||
|
- It's Fun. ASCII is usually the only interface I can get used to,
|
|||
|
because it's so fast.
|
|||
|
- org-mode makes me look organised (though a bit quirky). That's
|
|||
|
enough reason to use it.
|
|||
|
- Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
|
|||
|
- Even if org-mode stands right where it is, it has been enormously
|
|||
|
helpful. Thank you very, very much.
|
|||
|
- Well done
|
|||
|
- Yes: org-mode progresses very well and improves with each version
|
|||
|
- for me its the greatest found treasure since I "dicovered" Emacs.
|
|||
|
- Great work! Wish I had time to contribute more.
|
|||
|
- Keep up the good work :)
|
|||
|
- It's a great software project and community. Thanks again to
|
|||
|
everyone involved!
|
|||
|
- Excellent piece of software!
|
|||
|
- I'm very very happy with it.
|
|||
|
- org-mode is fantastic :-)
|
|||
|
- The best feature of Org are its two maintainers Carsten and Bastien
|
|||
|
and its helpful community.
|
|||
|
- Great mode for emacs. I wish I was using it more
|
|||
|
- It is great tool. Uncluttered. Thanks to Carsten et al.
|
|||
|
- Rock on!
|
|||
|
- favorite piece of software I use.
|
|||
|
- I'm continually amazed by what org can do, and also by how intuitive
|
|||
|
it is. It's not at all unusual that I find myself thinking that it
|
|||
|
would be great if org/emacs did "x", trying what seems to me to be
|
|||
|
the way that it would do "x" if it could, and discovering that it
|
|||
|
functions just as I expect. And when it doesn't, there are ways to
|
|||
|
figure it out. (And Carsten is a great developer who shines at
|
|||
|
hearing what his users are doing, responding to expressed needs, and
|
|||
|
even being clear if/when he decides not to do what someone would
|
|||
|
like him to do. Other heavy users and scripters are great as well.
|
|||
|
- I started using Org-mode as an outliner. It is the best outliner
|
|||
|
I've used an much more. The community is valuable but Carsten's
|
|||
|
skill and judgment has made org-mode what it is.
|
|||
|
- It's a killer tool that I could not live without.
|
|||
|
- org-mode is great, I hope it can keep clean text file when adding
|
|||
|
functions.
|
|||
|
- I forced myself to learn emacs after 25+ years in the vi camp in
|
|||
|
order to use org-mode. Loving it. Carsten's enthusiasm and support
|
|||
|
are a joy, and the mailing list is always refreshing.
|
|||
|
- I plan to run a website where users could share Org files and edit
|
|||
|
them together. I plan to write a better exporter (and more formats!)
|
|||
|
I think the Org syntax is mature enough to get more programs
|
|||
|
interacting with it outside Emacs. Org is *great* :)
|
|||
|
- It's wonderful. Thanks!
|
|||
|
- org-mode is a fantastic program, supported by a lively helpful email
|
|||
|
list. Carsten is very responsive to feature requests and helping.
