<h3id="sec-8">Worg - user-driven knowledge-base about org-mode</h3>
<p>
<ahref="http://129.199.80.1/~guerry/worg/">Worg</a>, created by <ahref="http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/">Bastien Guerry</a>, is a setup to allow users to jointly
edit a number of Org-mode files containing documentation about
Org-mode. This is something like a wiki. If you'd like to contribute
your own setup, screenshots, tutorials etc, please go to <ahref="http://129.199.80.1/~guerry/worg/">the Worg page</a>, and start from there.
<ahref="http://www.legito.net/worg/org-tutorials/index.php">Tutorials and screencasts</a> are maintained by the <ahref="http://www.legito.net/worg">Worg project</a>.
In November 2007, Charles Cave organized a survey among Org-mode
users. The answers given in this survey can be found <ahref="survey.html">here</a>.

<h3id="sec-11">Org-mode, GTD and other task management systems </h3>
<p>Org-mode is flexible enough to implement many different ways of
organizing your projects. A frequently discusses scheme is <ahref="http://www.davidco.com/">David Allen's</a> strategy for <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTD">Getting Things Done</a>. But it is clearly not
the only way to us Org-mode for planning. Here are a couple of
links related to this topic.

<ul>
<li>
<ahref="http://johnwiegley.com">John Wiegley</a> has written an excellent document describing his
way of using Org-mode as a <ahref="http://johnwiegley.com/org.mode.day.planner.html">day planner</a>. See also some later
<ahref="http://members.optusnet.com.au/charles57/Creative/">Charles Cave</a> has written an <ahref="http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/orgmode.html">article/tutorial</a> about the basic
elements of GTD and how he implements them in Org-mode. There
is also a <ahref="http://129.199.80.1/~guerry/org-gtd.html">french translation</a> of this document.

There have been several threads on emacs-orgmode@gnu.org related
to GTD, the most important ones are:
<ul>

<ahref="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/683">Another GTD question</a>, which contains a discussion about basic
GTD aspects. It also contains this

<ahref="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/523">GTD, Projects and Next Actions in org-mode</a> is a thread where
several people describe their personal setup is

The <ahref="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/4915">SOMEDAY/MAYBE vs. low priorities</a> thread contains a
discussion about priorities that is quite instructive.
</li>
<li>
Here is a <ahref="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/4832/focus%3D4854">very instructive post</a> by Pete Phillips explaining
why David Allens book is where you should start to learn GTD,
and that the Internet and Org-mode only come into the game
later, when thinking about the implementation. And since
doing GTD the right way will give you lots of free time, don't
forget to listen to <ahref="http://www.detox-jazz.co.uk/">Pete's music</a>!

Also on the web you can find information about how people are
setting up Org-mode to fit their habits. A few examples:

<ahref="http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/">David O'Toole</a> is the author of <ahref="http://dto.freeshell.org/e/org-publish.el">org-publish.el</a>. While this is

bug fixes and developments at his <ahref="http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/OrgMode.html">Org-mode page</a>, along with
several other projects like <i>org-blog.el</i> and
<i>org-publish-escript.el</i>.

<ahref="http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/">Bastien Guerry</a> has been really prolific in writing interesting
add-ons, all available at his <ahref="http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/bastien-org-mode.html">org-mode page</a>:
<ul>
<li>
a package for using Org-mode as the basis for blogging
</li>
<li>
a LaTeX exporter that is now distributed together with
org-mode
</li>
<li>
a special table-of-contents buffer that simplifies navigation
</li>
<li>
a registry to find locations that link a specific document.

<h3id="sec-18">Contributing to Org-mode</h3>
<p>
You can always contribute with ideas and bug reports on the mailing
list. If you want to contribute a patch, code snippets, or a full
add-on, this is very welcome too! However, I can only make it an
official part of Org-mode if you have signed the papers with the
Free Software Foundation. Org-mode is distributed as part of Emacs
and must therefore adhere to strict rules about the copyright of
all included material. If this is what you want to do, <ahref="request-assign-future.txt">here</a> is the
form that you have to fill in and send to the FSF. After you
received the final copy with signatures, please scan it and send
the scan to the maintainer.

<h3id="sec-19">Future Development</h3>
<p>
Org-mode is still developing fast. The best way to stay up-to-date
is to join the mailing list where the changes are developed and
discusssed.
</p>
<p>
Here is a loose <ahref="todo.html">list of ideas</a> that are still to be processed
somehow, when I get to it…
