I feel compelled to add my 0.02$ to this discussion. I wrote the following
down as answers to the two questions posed by the Sourceforge
representative. I am not a developer, but a semi-knowledgable user.
Org-mode has truly changed the way I do everything. The following points
represent all of 5 minutes of effort. There is no way any answer to these
questions can be compressed into 140 words, much less 140 characters.
1. Our project is:: a multifacted utility outliner/todo and agenda
organizer/notetaking/supermacro publishing system, in a dynamic
collaborative state of development that renders it simple and useful, while
riding at the cutting edge of technology.
2. We should win because::
- attracts many people from various walks of life
- the development model is responsive to the needs of users at
all levels
- OM is immediately intuitively useful, yet has such depth even
old timers have not mastered many aspects
- many users are captivated by the utilitarian nature of org-mode
Perhaps all this is far off the mark.
