New layout homepage. 

More compact, and a bit more "sales pitch".

Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and doing
project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.
*Org - an Emacs Mode for Notes, Project Planning, and Authoring*
Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that contain
information about projects as plain text. Org-mode is implemented on
top of outline-mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of
large files well structured. Visibility cycling and structure editing
help to work with the tree. Tables are easily created with a built-in
table editor. Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps,
and scheduling. It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda.
Plain text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, Usenet
messages, BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects. For
printing and sharing of notes, an Org-mode file can be exported as a
structured ASCII file, HTML, and LaTeX.
Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project
planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text
system.

- Simplicity :: Org-mode it a simple outliner for note taking and list
management. You can learn basic use in five minutes. Some never
move any further than that, and Org-mode will never impose
complexity.
- Depth :: As needs arise, Org-mode will show it's amazingly broad and
deep feature set. The typical answer to "/Can I do X?/" is
"/Yes!/".
- Portability :: Org files are plain text. You can view and edit them
in any editor. Your data is yours forever. Org-mode runs in
[[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]], which is available for nearly every platform.
- Flexibility :: Org-mode is a tool like a swiss army knife. People
use it for [[http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/orgmode.html][Getting Things Done (GTD)]], as a [[http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/org.mode.day.planner.php][Day Planner]], as a
[[http://sachachua.com/wp/2008/01/18/outlining-your-notes-with-org/][Notebook]], for Web and PDF [[http://orgmode.org][Authoring]], and much more.
- Support :: Org-mode is supported by an active [[id:0B280B26-A3AB-4E5C-B4EE-B7FFC52C4D26][mailing list]] where
questions are usually answered within hours.
- It's free! :: Org is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software][open source software]], it is free, like Emacs.

** Worg - User-edited content
** Worg
[[http://orgmode.org/worg/][Worg]], created by [[http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/][Bastien Guerry]], is a setup to allow users to jointly
edit a number of Org-mode files containing documentation about
Org-mode, including the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php][Org Mode FAQ]] and [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php][Tutorials]]. Worg is similar
to a wiki in that allows community to edit the contents. However,
since it uses a distributed version control system, you do not have to
be online while editing it. If you'd like to contribute to Worg by
posting your own special setup, screenshots, tutorials etc, please go
to [[http://orgmode.org/worg/][the Worg page]], and start from there.
** Tutorials
[[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php][Tutorials and screencasts]] are maintained by the [[http://orgmode.org/worg][Worg project]].
** Survey
In November 2007, Charles Cave organized a survey among Org-mode
users. The answers given in this survey can be found [[file:survey.html][here]].

** Contributing to Org-mode
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, [[file:request-assign-future.txt][here]] 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.

is to join the mailing list where the changes are developed and
discussed.
