Dear all,

the final version of the new compact guide (down to 34 pages now)
to Org-mode is here:

http://orgmode.org/orgguide.pdf

http://orgmode.org/guide/

Do we need to advertise this document better?  Where?

Cheers

- Carsten

I think it was a great idea of having a compact guide and I think the HTML version works very well indeed in terms of layout and structure - nice work!

I would suggest to have a link to the new compact guide just after "Documentation" on the left side on the top level of the Org-mode site, maybe even a short paragraph with a link at the very top of the Documentation section.
 
There is also some unused space in the top left corner of both the Org Manual and the new Compact Guide. I think it might be useful to have two icons there to navigate between the Manual and the Compact Guide, possibly also back to the Org-Mode site's top level - naturally, this should involve the "Unicorg" icon, or variations thereof.

Warm regards,
 Stefan

The last few lines of the Makefile could also be tweaked to announce
the compact guide;  I believe everyone has to run make to get org to
work?

Hi Sivaram,

I point emacs at the uncompiled .el files and don't run make. That
should also work on Windows.
