Hi David, Sorry my website on org-mode is stale and I don't currently have time to update it. I stopped updating it in 2015 after changing jobs and moving to the windows platform (at work). My main issue is lack of free time to spend on this project. The downloadable org file is actually the result of publishing the org source from my very out-of-date Linux workstation. The original org file (all versions) is available in the git repository. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have related to the site or my current use of org-mode. I still work in a similar way described on http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html but my agenda and some workflows have evolved a bit from what is described in the document. Regards, Bernt
