Hi everyone,

today I looked at our tutorial page at

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.html

and came away with the feeling that that this page has become
somewhat useless for people who are really new to Org.  I think
the page should start with a section of true recommendations
for beginners, a path we tell every new users to take in order to
learn about Org mode.

Can we have a discussion here on how this path should look like?
When you came to Org-mode as a newby, what were the three resources
that really made an impression on by being accessible and
providing feel and promise for digging deeper?

- Carsten

Some years ago I had sent a mail on this subject (Feb 6 2009).  I fished it
out and was editing it (below) and then see that Eric Abrahamsen has said
most what I wanted to say.

Anyways Ive kept the subject list below and want to add only this much:

People come to org for different reasons/needs/inclinations.
It is definitely worthwhile clubbing these diverse/contrasting ways into a
few (5-10?) foci/approaches

My subject list

* Publishing
** Web
** Latex
** Doc

* Brainstorming

* Managing My Data
  own private hyperlink system

* Time/project mgmt
*** Agenda
*** Time tracking
*** GTD
*** Journalling

* Tables and spreadsheets
* Programming (Babel)
** Literate programming
** Reproducible research
** Meta Programming
