And furthermore the example isn't bad either as Org mode actually *does* help you wash your car ;) > 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." I don't have a concrete idea for the sentence but when I think about why Org mode should win Neal Stephenson comes to my mind: emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same way that the noonday sun does the stars Replace `Emacs' with `Org mode' and `editing' with `organising' and you have the reason why Org mode should win. Maybe Org mode's singularity in its area and the fact that it's so much ahead of any other organising tool can be cast in a 140 character phrase for the jury?! Ulf
