O.K. So I went a little crazy and added a bunch of definitions to the
glossary.
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-glossary.php
Perhaps it's not so much a glossary any more as an shorter introduction
to the basic concepts of org-mode.
My apologies if I ended up repeating details from the manual, but my
goal was to provide the following:
1) a brief definition of each term/concept.
2) a more detailed explanation of what it is and/or how it works.
3) possible uses (e.g., Why might one want to use categories?)
I made a small dent in the list of terms. Please feel free to take up
any of the remaining entries.
Best,
Matt
