Hey, why the huff? The point is, you have not given us any chance at all to think it might be of any use! Here is the thing: This is an open source project, everyone who is in it, is in there for the fun of it and in his/her free time. So how to trigger other people to do work for you? Here is what triggers me: 1. BUGS Bugs are like a bad itch, and its very hard for me to not keep scratching until they are gone. 2. Logical gaps in the Org-mode framework If an idea or feature fits obviously into what Org should do, so obvious that once you hear it, you can't say why you have not thought about it before. 3. Interesting ideas and feature requests that do make sense in the Org-mode framework. For this the proposer needs to take the time and energy to make a good case for it. Why is this interesting and useful for me, why for others, how can it be used and configured? 4. Cool stuff I want Org-mode to be the coolest thing out there, and cool ideas can occasionally trigger me to implement them even if their usefulness is not yet clear or well established. 5. Requests from people who have shown their interest in Org-mode over a longer period and have contributed in one way or another. I will be more inclined to listen to ideas from those people, even if something is badly explained or does not make sense to me immediately. Let me make an example: Had you come and explained that you are writing a really cool PDA application that will finally allow two-way synching between Org-mode and a PDA, and that you will make this program freely available to everyone, and that you need a certain input format to make sure that entries can be identified in a unique way, you would very likely have your exporter by now. Hope this makes things clearer.
