I am still learning how to use emacs. When I was learned about org mode, I
was really excited. I found it very difficult to extract the basic usage of
org mode from the resources available on the website. The resources
available are both plentiful and VERY thorough, but all I wanted was a
rundown of basic use commands so I could play with it and get comfortable.

I eventually got there, and wrote myself a little ,org cheat sheet of
controls and commands. I wanted to share what I worked out with other
beginners somehow, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about that.

So, I figured I would share it with you guys. Maybe you can make it
available for beginners?

Org mode is cooler than sliced bread, btw. Love it. I am now taking notes
in all of my classes with it. Thanks alot!
