It could supply some skeleton files which would be used as default customisations and extended as the user grows in lisp proficiency. Pretty much the same as `emacs -Q -l minimal-org.el'. This could be offered as a download on the home page for non-techie users. I would expect having a download only for Windows and OS X should suffice since Linux users already have Emacs (with some version of org-mode) from their respective repositories. Is that an idea worth pursuing? --=20 Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
