Dear all,
with the Org-mode manual moving toward 200 pages, I am
starting to worry that people with stop in their tracks
when considering Org-mode, just because of the sheer size
of the manual.
So I did a little experiment. I took the manual and stripped
everything which could be considered advanced material, but
keeping all features and all basic commands and customizations.
What remains are about 50 pages. A document with the same
structure (even the same chapter numbers) as the manual.
I am wondering if it would be useful to have this as a beginners
document - or if the existence of this document would lead
to more confusion than relief.
http://orgmode.org/orgguide.pdf
I don't see this a an alternative for the manual - just
as an additional, rather static document, with little need for
updates. The manual would continue to be the comprehensive
and constantly updated document.
Comments are welcome.
- Carsten

The R project has something called "An Introduction to R" for beginners, separate from the complete manual. I think that as a beginner, and wondering how to break into learning a new package, that "reading the manual" has certain negative psychological connotations that "reading the intro document" does not, not the least of which is the length of full manual. And since knowing just the basics of org can be immensely beneficial, I think it's even more reason to have a basic intro document. --Erik ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

I'm tempted to suggest going even a little further than you have done. If you were to make it shorter, I would suggest removing the following sections, and to replace removed sections with very short non-technical advertisements for features that are covered in the main manual. - 2.8 Drawers - 3.2 Column width and alignment - 3.3 The Spreadsheet (4 rather technical pages) - 7.4 Property Inheritance and 7.5 Column View (do beginners really need properties at all ??)

I would agree on this list (except maybe drawers). If there is room for additional sections maybe: - include the org ref card as an appendix (which in itself offers a very good overview of org) - include some pointers into getting emacs for different OSes and getting started with emacs. If there would be an O´Reilly book on Org-mode this would be in the first chapter or so. For people who started using emacs because of org (like me) the current Introduction might still be too cryptic (?) -- Matti On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 7:05 PM, Dan Davison <davison@stats.ox.ac.uk> wrote: > Erik Iverson <eriki@ccbr.umn.edu> writes: > >> Carsten Dominik wrote: >>> Dear all, >>> >>> with the Org-mode manual moving toward 200 pages, I am >>> starting to worry that people with stop in their tracks >>> when considering Org-mode, just because of the sheer size >>> of the manual. >>> >>> So I did a little experiment.

Hi Dan, Matti, I think I agree, just cannot easliy let go of the spreadsheet as a core feature - you caught me there :-), and you are right, also I would be very glad to hand over the control over this document to either of you or to another volunteer.

Hi Carsten, I'm afraid I don't want to take responsibility for this (a predictable position). Apart from anything else there are several areas of Org that I don't know enough about. If there isn't a volunteer, perhaps we could place this document on Worg, and someone could periodically review the changes and judge whether they should be applied to the master copy on the Org website? We could request on this list volunteers for someone to make specific entries (e.g. adding a "Further reading" section for a specific chapter).

It would be good to have active HTML links to the relevant main manual sections in PDF and HTML versions. (even if this is not encouraged by texinfo format). I'm tempted to suggest going even a little further than you have done. If you were to make it shorter, I would suggest removing the following sections, and to replace removed sections with very short non-technical advertisements for features that are covered in the main manual. - 2.8 Drawers - 3.2 Column width and alignment - 3.3 The Spreadsheet (4 rather technical pages) - 7.4 Property Inheritance and 7.5 Column View (do beginners really need properties at all ??)

The addition of hyperref links back to the advanced material in the manual might be useful and shouldn't require much maintenance. A section at the end of each chapter, "Additional Reading," with links to Worg articles, etc. might also prove useful, but could be a pain to maintain.
