Special Announcement
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.
