Thanks for creating this, Russell. It's great!
I've already set my system up per John Wiegley's tutorial. I didn't
appreciate Org until I started to use capture, so I'm glad you introduced it
early on. And I like how you pointed out org-capture-templates. I'm at the
point where I'm changing some settings, so it's nice to see where things are
defined.
Also neat is the idea of notification. But I wonder if some folks might
have VBS disabled. For them, I'd recommend using the Net Send command. Net
Send can also broadcast to multiple users on a domain, which may (or may
not) be a nice thing. I can imagine an IT person using Org-mode with Net
Send to notify everyone about a server reboot.
Some other things that are new to me:
* AddPM (never used it)
* -f switch to run Lisp and the shortcut to Agenda
* latest version is now 7.3
* Timestamps & Workflow
* C-c [
* lots more
Invoking Customize is a nice way to establish the .emacs. But I would've
mentioned C-x C-f ~/.e<TAB> after the second customization, though. :)
All the best!
Oh, BTW, is there a tutorial on how to set up a Worg account for Windows
users?

Capture is a must. Working a project is one thing, but its how to deal
with the nonstop little things that counts.

I'm not a Windows guy, so I'm not sure. I used VBS because it appeared
that between Windows 2k, XP, and 2003 that NET SEND may have
changed. I've now had a few people suggest Growl for Mac and Windows.

I love the one touch timestamps, it's been central to all of my work.

Yeah that was a bit repetitious. On the other hand I didn't know that
emacs would tab complete ~ on Windows, I was using the "native"
interface. ;]
Thanks!

You should be able to use Putty on Windows, the same way as ssh in
Linux. See http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
