Just a little nit, but should we play up the emacs part? =A0(&q= uot;... backed
by the power of Emacs.") =A0It is an important part of org-mode power,=
but I'm just thinking about the emacs/vi flame wars and people who
might not be able to see past that fact that it's "just an emacs editing mode" to give org-mode a fair look. =A0If we want to attract t= he
emacs fans, I think the screen shot will make it obvious to them.
Anyhow, it's just a thought. =A0It looks like everything is coming
together good.
