* Survey introduction
|
||
|
||
A survey was conducted of org-mode users duing November 2007. An
|
||
invitation was sent to the org-mode users list as well as announced on
|
||
the http://orgmode.org web site. About 80 people resonded. This file
|
||
contains a complete list of the answers, as the base of further
|
||
discussion.

|
||
* 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
|
||
yahoogroup.
|
||
- Around march 2006?
|
||
- Dunno. A while ago.
|
||
- 2006 found out indirectly from the Planner mode or maybe Emacs Wiki
|
||
- 2006/06 Emacs Wiki
|
||
|
||
* 4. What are your main uses of org-mode?
|
||
|
||
- daily task planing, private and at work documenting know-hows,
|
||
collecting informations (web searches etc.), contacts
|
||
- i plan to use it for GTD and (maybe) as replacement for LyX as
|
||
general writing tool (via LaTeX export)
|
||
- Project planning, task management
|
||
- todo list / scheduler
|
||
- TODO list management
|
||
- Task list and note taking
|
||
- Todo-list administration - Time tracking - Creating outlines
|
||
- write lists to keep track of projects and infomation
|
||
- I mostly use it as an extended version of outline mode, as well as
|
||
the agenda mode. Managing TODO lists and the like. I also really
|
||
like the integration with remember mode.
|
||
- TODO list, calendar/appointment app, note-taking, "digital junk
|
||
drawer" a la Yojimbo, minor mode for drafting documents,
|
||
org-publish.el, org-blog.el
|
||
- Planning and taking notes (with remember mode.)
|
||
- TODO lists (GTD methodology) and diary
|
||
- Planning, project, time and task tracking.
|
||
- GTD system at home
|
||
- planning
|
||
- todo-lists
|
||
- Maintaining a GTD system for personal organization, tracking time
|
||
for work reporting and billing.
|
||
- Organizing my tasks and plans at work. Trying to implement GTD with
|
||
it.
|
||
- Reporting (org-outline/exporter!), GTD
|
||
- GTD, weekly planner
|
||
- Managing software development todo lists
|
||
- Agenda, todo tracking, lecture notes, blogging
|
||
- TODO list
|
||
- 1) Maintaining my personal lists of projects and tasks 2)
|
||
Maintaining a "wiki" of reference material (org-mode doc that links
|
||
to external files and URLs) 3) Maintaining an archive of completed
|
||
projects 4) Keeping track of my agenda 5) Outlining and
|
||
brainstorming 6) Organizing journal entries
|
||
- Personal task lists.
|
||
- daily planning
|
||
- Organizing and managing projects
|
||
- gtd - project management - generating htmls - minutes, documentation
|
||
- notes, todo-lists, planner
|
||
- Agenda (GTD) Notes keeping Publishing tool
|
||
- Slowly it is becoming my desktop. I write, use it for email
|
||
composition, technical documentation. Slowly getting into planning,
|
||
agenda etc.
|
||
- Project planning and task tracking.
|
||
- keeping track of things to do.
|
||
- TODO and org-table
|
||
- Running my work and home todo lists and notes, but progressively
|
||
more and more using it for everything.
|
||
- TODO list and meeting minutes
|
||
- Task/Todo List information list some local hacks for finance
|
||
- todo lists and knowledge base
|
||
- Task management (TODO lists) * Note taking * Export/Publish (e.g.,
|
||
publish notes to website) * Personal web pages (via org-publish)
|
||
- 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
|
||
- Timeplanning, Timekeeping, Todo/Reminder
|
||
- replacement for time management system (todos, project organisation,
|
||
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
|
||
data (I'm "implementing" it (wow, wow!)
|
||
- Task list/agenda/calendar some "filing" of data, storage of links to
|
||
file system and web
|
||
- Note taking for courses
|
||
- Learn more about organizing tasks - Trying to substitute little
|
||
papers with appointments - Publish works (thesis, articles, web
|
||
pages, ...) - Support a bit the process of writing an article
|
||
(TODOs, deadlines, sections, ...)
|
||
- documentation todo list management complete daily work organisation
|
||
private and at work planing of schedules for church and sports
|
||

|
||
to my org files via svn world-wide
|
||
- all aspects of GTD except calendar
|
||
- Outlining and Organising.
|
||
- Day to day planning. Constantly switching between gtd and John
|
||
Wiegly's setup to find out what suits me best.
|
||
- Todo List management. Task Scheduling. Note taking. Blogging
|
||
(Blorg). Simple Bug Tracking.
|
||
- 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
|
||
folding documentation tool (write text docu, use folding to hide
|
||
sections I'm not working on currently, and finally generate html or
|
||
LaTeX
|
||
- GTD / Agenda
|
||
- I organize all my projects and appointments with org.
|
||
- Mainly todos/tasks planning and follow up
|
||
- I use it to keep track of articles I have to write for clients (I'm
|
||
a journalist). I keep a page per client. I also use it to keep notes
|
||
on personal stuff, such as sport activities, todo things around the
|
||
house, garden and so on
|
||
- advanced todo list, reading diary, simple HTML authoring.
|
||
- Project management
|
||
- note taking, task management, document creation, webpage publishing
|
||
- task management, notes about work and home projects, regular
|
||
journaling -- the list of things is expanding as I spend more and
|
||
more time in emacs/org.
|
||
- Project planning, scheduling. Information
|
||
gathering. Wishlists. Outlines. Todo lists (checkboxes). Data
|
||
munging (tables) Review planning (outline w/ links)
|
||
- For GTD and basic word processing
|
||
- Projects, Notes, Memorial days etc.
|
||
- single file for everything
|
||
- Amassing and sorting to-dos and reference information. (Recovering
|
||
from mild brain injury in 2005 that affected ability to categorize
|
||
and prioritize, need mechanical aids!)
|
||
- Handling notes. Displaying the calendar. Use the agenda view to
|
||
display notes.
|
||
- Outlining and providing group TODO lists with explanations.
|
||
- To Do List and Project Tracking Writing articles for export to HTML
|
||
- Note taking, task management
|
||
|
||
* 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)
|
||
|
||
- Document Structure, Tables, Spreadsheet, Hyperlinks, TODO items,
|
||
Tags, Properties and Columns, Dates and Times, (Custom) Agenda Views
|
||
- LaTeX, Remember
|
||
- 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
|
||
- agenda - html - spreadsheet
|
||
- Spreadsheet, remember, time logger and outlines.
|
||
- 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
|
||
- tables, HTML, ToDo stuff/agenda, column mode, clock features,
|
||
categories
|
||
- Agenda, time tracking, HTML, latex, spreadsheet
|
||
agenda export to ics (iCalendar) file TODO proper- ty drawers
|
||
- headings, tags, links, drawers & properties, table (& occasionally
|
||
spreadsheet), remember, todo's
|
||
- outlining - basic spreadsheet - org-export-as-latex - HTML -
|
||
org-publish - marking TODO/DONE (or equivalents) - agenda
|
||
- Remember HTML
|
||
- HTML, Remember, custom agenda views, tags matches, custom keyword
|
||

|
||
- Agenda, Remember, Tags, Ascii Export, Tables, Outlining
|

- 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.
