In (info "(org) Plain lists"):
`M-<RET>'     (`org-insert-heading')
     Insert new item at current level.  With a prefix argument, force a
     new heading (*note Structure editing::).  If this command is used
     in the middle of an item, that item is _split_ in two, and the
     second part becomes the new item(7).  If this command is executed
     _before item's body_, the new item is created _before_ the current
     one.

Why is `before item's body' emphasized?  As far as I'm concerned, only
`before' should be emphasized.

BTW, why is the node name `Plain lists'?  In Emacs manuals, all the
node name are made of capitalized words, for example:
(info "(emacs) Saving Emacs Sessions")
(info "(elisp) Syntax Tables")
(info "(widget) Widget Wishlist")
...

I don't mind.

In Org's manual, not all the node names are made of capitalized words.

If you want to contribute to Org, please try to make constructive and
useful suggestions first: that way you'll get write access and be able
to fix those tiny things that don't matter that much.

Bye,

Thanks for your reply.  I have a few suggestions (maybe not constructive):
1. Build an architecture that supports sharing org files and online real-time collaboration;
2. MobileOrg for Freerunner/Mer/Firefox OS/Bada/Windows Phone...
3. Web applications that use org-mode files as a back end for storing data;
4. Audio and video insertion in Org;
5. Alarm support (I'm strongly addicted to alarm);
6. Convert doc/pdf/xls... to Org files.

See Worg.  That's what we com'up best.

See also http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/63815

Please go ahead.

Good idea.  Github does it, and perhaps others.
Also see the link above.

Already possible.

Did you read the manual?

> 6. Convert doc/pdf/xls... to Org files.

Not an Org task.

Sorry for not noticing this thread.

I found it just now, thanks for your information.

I'm an Org novice, and I'm still learning.

Why do you think that?  I think that both import and export are important. Unless the file format is binary or closed (hard to analyse), importing is a good feature.

Thanks.

Yes, I strongly agree this is a very important feature, I'm just
saying this should not be developed as a feature of Org, but a more
general feature.
