@cindex thanks

Org was born in 2003, out of frustration over the user interface
|
||||
of the Emacs Outline mode. I was trying to organize my notes and
|
||||
projects, and using Emacs seemed to be the natural way to go. However,
|
||||
having to remember eleven different commands with two or three keys per
|
||||
command, only to hide and show parts of the outline tree, that seemed
|
||||
entirely unacceptable to me. Also, when using outlines to take notes, I
|
||||
constantly wanted to restructure the tree, organizing it parallel to my
|
||||
thoughts and plans. @emph{Visibility cycling} and @emph{structure
|
||||
editing} were originally implemented in the package
|
||||
@file{outline-magic.el}, but quickly moved to the more general
|
||||
@file{org.el}. As this environment became comfortable for project
|
||||
planning, the next step was adding @emph{TODO entries}, basic
|
||||
@emph{timestamps}, and @emph{table support}. These areas highlighted the two main
|
||||
goals that Org still has today: to be a new, outline-based,
|
||||
plain text mode with innovative and intuitive editing features, and to
|
||||
incorporate project planning functionality directly into a notes file.
|
||||
|
||||
A special thanks goes to @i{Bastien Guerry} who has not only written a large
|
||||
number of extensions to Org (most of them integrated into the core by now),
|
||||
but who has also helped in the development and maintenance of Org so much that he
|
||||
should be considered the main co-contributor to this package.

Before I get to this list, a few special mentions are in order:

@item Bastien Guerry
|
||||
Bastien has written a large number of extensions to Org (most of them
|
||||
integrated into the core by now), including the LaTeX exporter and the plain
|
||||
list parser. More importantly, maybe, was his help and support when Org got
|
||||
first started, he was very important during this phase. Also, he invented
|
||||
Worg, helped establishing the Web presence of Org, and sponsors hosting costs
|
||||
for the orgmode.org website.
|
||||
@item Eric Schulte and Dan Davison
|
||||
Eric and Dan are jointly responsible for the Org-babel system, which turns
|
||||
Org into a multi-language environment for evaluating code and doing literate
|
||||
programming and reproducible research.
|
||||
@item John Wiegley
|
||||
John has also contributed a number of great ideas and patches
|
||||
directly to Org, including the attachment system (@file{org-attach.el}),
|
||||
integration with Apple Mail (@file{org-mac-message.el}), hierarchical
|
||||
dependencies of TODO items, habit tracking (@file{org-habits.el}), and
|
||||
encryption (@file{org-crypt.el}). Also, the capture system is really an
|
||||
extended copy of his great @file{remember.el}.
|
||||
@item Sebastian Rose
|
||||
Without Sebastian, the HTML/XHTML publishing of Org would be the pitiful work
|
||||
of an ignorant amateur. Sebastian has pushed this part of Org onto a much
|
||||
higher level. He also wrote @file{org-info.js}, a Java script for displaying
|
||||
webpages derived from Org using an Info-like or a folding interface with
|

single-key navigation.
