But it is 190 characters, I am not sure if we can stretch the "about 140" this much? I have been trying to shorten it a bit - please check if it still captures the essence..... Here is the current state of our reply to Sourceforge - please comment > 1. Complete this sentence in about 140 characters: "Our project is > [-foo-]." For example, "Our project is a tool that helps you wash > your > car." > Org-mode masters personal/project information your way, in plain text, with features out of your way until you want them, backed by the power of Emacs. > 2. Complete this sentence, also in about 140 characters: "We should > win > because [-bar-]." For example, "We should win because we have a > strong > community and we solve a universal problem." We should win because by allowing people to evolve their productive selves, org-mode has created one of the best communities in the open-source world. > > 3.

I am attaching the picture to this email, you can also retrieve it from http://orgmode.org/Org-mode-scc.png (((Thanks to Greg Newman for fixing up the unicorn and pasting it nicely into the screenshot - any objections against this picture? Note that it needs to work as a thumbnail as well, which this one will, I believe.))) For the time being, I am sending you this link, which is a Google Tech Talk by me (Carsten Dominik, main author of Org-mode). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJTwQvgfgMM Before the deadline you should get another email from Bastien Guerry, with a link to a new video which we made just for this occasion. If so, please link to that video instead. > 5. In some cases, I'm mailing several people in your community because > I don't know who the right person is.
