SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
|
||
Throwing in the towel and jumping on the
|
||
bandwagon

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 — [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.
