Wow, Richard. That was sweet. You even have a pleasing "screencaster's
voice."

My only thought was along the lines of what one should assume about org-mode
viewers. Familiarity with emacs? No knowledge of emacs? I only got into
emacs because I found org-mode, so my only thought there is that I might not
even have known what "meta" was... I can't recall, but did you clarify meta
= alt on Win/Linux and Command on Mac?

Stuff like that might be helpful. Obviously these won't all be done on a Mac
and some unfamiliar with it might wonder what the Command and carat symbols
are on their own keyboards?

As Erik said -- folding and perhaps adjusting in and out (meta +
left/right). Also, it seems that only the meta or control functions show up
as keystrokes. For example, I thought you said "M-n s" and "M-n w" to narrow
on the tree and then widen the view but I only ever saw one part of that
flash on the screen.

Great, great job. Loved it and think this is exactly what Org could use. I
have a co-worker who just got emacs and org-mode up on his computer and
would love to have something this simple and clear-cut.

Great work, again.
John
