Hi list,

this is only partially Org-ode related, but I hope I'll be excused.
A friend of mine uses Scrivener; he also does some simple
JavaScript/jQuery programming and HTML/CSS editing. He *is* interested
in Emacs & Org-mode, but does not want to spend more than, say, 2 days
on installing, configuring and learning basics of E&Om. Are there any
resources which might help? I offered him some help with installing
and teaching, but what could I use? (Of course, the built-in tutorial
and Sacha Chua's sketch-tutorials are great, but what else does there
exist?

I found this to be very helpful - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/tutorials/au-emacs1/index.html

Also, is prelude or Emacs Starter Kit a good idea? I
understand this is opinion-based, but maybe someone has some experience
*teaching* Emacs and Org-mode?)

​I recently had to start from scratch and I tried Emacs-Starter-Kit and Prelude.  Prelude seemed to fit my needs much better and got me up and running pretty quickly.

Thanks
