I've had to help several new users get things like basic agenda, emacs initialization, and remember templates setup and it seemed very repetitive. The Emacs learning curve really holds back Org adoption in that sense, they can't just open Emacs and use Org immediately as anything other than an outline editor. Perhaps just a script to enact default customizations, that the tutorial could then build upon? Thanks.

Something simpler then the documentation, that will help a person new to emacs and org-mode start using org. I would like to put the following on worg, if people would think something like this would fit the bill. What do you think? If the response is positive then I would add more chapters to it. > > greetings, > > alex > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
