I disagree since I belive the manual is already written as a tutorial. Let's surf the TOC (Table of Content): + It begins with the introduction, the basic .emacs lines to use Org-Mode + then it describes the use of Org-Mode as outline + then tables + then hyperlinks + TODO + tags .... I think that a newbie is guided from the easy use to exploitation of the more advanced features of Org-Mode: properties, finer agenda views etc... Moreover "The OrgMode tutorial by David O'Toole" on the worg site is not enough? > Because yes, beginners might be frightened > by the size of > the manual, (-: Newbies may only be /lazy/ and do not :-) (-: want to spend time in reading the manual :-) > by the simple act of asking something on > this list, (-: So what? Let them grew up, :-) :-) become brave and ask questions! :-) I mean, I personally asked some _really_ silly questions here: e.g. I sought for help regarding a bug, but the problem was that *I* wrote badly the "#+LINK: " line and Carsten replied very promptly and extremly kindly. I think that everybody in this list is really gentle, helpful, constructive, handy, supportive. > or by > spending time looking for the right information on > Org websites. Perhaps we (not so newbie users) shall + try to organise the various sorces of documentation EmacsWiki, orgmode.org, worg ... in a more clear way + fill the page of the tutorials at the worg site On the other hand if somebzg ;) will write a tutorial as clear, readable and enlightning, like you did with column views [terrific!], I will suggest every newbie to read it.
