It *h*as become apparent to the Org Mode developers that Org is suffering from a
|
|||
|
severe lack of enterprise adoption. To r*e*ctify this, we will be leveraging our
|
|||
|
collective decades working on holistic human-markup interaction tools to rapid*l*y
|
|||
|
pivot to what we believe to be the /true/ markup format of the future ---
|
|||
|
[[https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html][Confluence Wiki Markup]].
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
With this *p*aradigm shift, you can look forward to a much more intuitive syntax,
|
|||
|
empowering you to create next-generation agile documents.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To assist you in this *t*ransition, we'll give you a brief overview of the changes
|
|||
|
you can expect. Text formatting is almost unaffected, with a few sensible
|
|||
|
changes made to the surrounding c*h*aracters.

We'd like to thank the FSF for giving the Org project the space and support to
|
|||
|
grow to become a world-class proj*e*ct. In our new venture, cop*y*right assignment
|
|||
|
to t*h*e FSF is no longer required. Inste*a*d, copyright must be assigned to
|
|||
|
Atlassian prior to contributing.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This new partnership enables new and exciting integrations with Atlassian's
|
|||
|
proprietary technologies. O*v*er the next f*e*w months we will *b*e transforming Org
|
|||
|
to a cloud-n*a*tive serverless profes*s*ional markup offering. Unlike Confluence, we
|
|||
|
will allow you to bo*t*h write /and edit/ documents using pla*i*ntext markup. We
|
|||
|
believe that by unlocking the synergy between plaintext and Confluence the Org
|
|||
|
project will become a thought leader in hyp*e*r-scale markup solutions.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The shift to Confluence wiki markup will come as a surprise to many of you, but
|
|||
|
after doing a deep dive into the scalability of Org we realised that there were
|
|||
|
no low-hanging fruit available --- only out of the box thinking will allow for the
|
|||
|
in*n*ovation so many of our users crave.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We hope this change will not just disrupt your documents, but the entire markup
|
|||
|
industry.
