*Org - an Emacs Mode for Notes, Project Planning, and Authoring*
Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project
planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text
system.
#+ATTR_HTML: style="border:1px solid black;"
[[http://orgmode.org/img/tasks.png]]
- Simplicity :: Org-mode is a simple outliner for note-taking and list
management. You can learn the basics for using it in five
minutes. This may be all you need, and Org-mode will not impose
more complex features on you.
- Portability :: Org files are plain text. You can view and edit them
in any editor. Your data is yours forever. Org-mode runs in
[[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]], which is available for nearly every platform.
- Depth :: Org-mode will not let you down when you need more than a
simple outline. The full feature set is both [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Main-Index.html#Main-Index][broad]] and [[http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html][deep]].
The typical [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php][answer]] to "/Can it do X?/" is "/Yes!/".
- Flexibility :: Org-mode is like a Swiss army knife. People use it
for [[http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/orgmode.html][Getting Things Done (GTD)]], as a [[http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/org.mode.day.planner.php][Day Planner]], as a [[http://sachachua.com/wp/2008/01/18/outlining-your-notes-with-org/][Notebook]],
for Web and PDF [[http://orgmode.org][Authoring]], and much more.
- Support :: Org-mode is supported by an active [[id:0B280B26-A3AB-4E5C-B4EE-B7FFC52C4D26][mailing list]] where
questions are answered quickly and effectively.
- It's free! :: Org is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software][open source software]], it is free, like Emacs.
If you'd like to know what other people have said about Org-mode, take
a look at our [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-quotes.php][collected quotes about Org]].
* News
- <2009-04-19 Sun>: Release 6.26

* Current Version (6.26)
The current version is 6.26. To see what has changed in recent
releases, check this detailed list of [[file:Changes.html][user-visible changes]].
This package works on Emacs 23 and 22, and (with minor restrictions)
on Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21. Emacs 22.2 ships with Org-mode version
4.67d. Emacs 23.1 release is expected to ship with 6.21b. The latest
CVS Emacs trunk usually contains a fairly recent version, but may lag
a bit behind the website release.

both the Lisp file org.el and the documentation in PDF and (TeX)Info
formats. Follow the instructions for [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation][Installation]] and [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Activation.html#Activation][Activation]].

release we ever had) by using git. The git repository is [[http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode.git][browsable
online]]. To get a local clone use something like the following (from
the command line....):
: git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git
Some more information about this can be found in the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php][FAQ]], under [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#keeping-current-with-Org-mode-development][How do
I keep current with Org mode development?]]. For people who cannot use
git, we provide [[file:org-snapshot.zip][zip]] or [[file:org-snapshot.tar.gz][tar.gz]] snapshot release files corresponding to
the latest git version.
** Alternative distributions

** Worg
[[http://orgmode.org/worg/][Worg]], created by [[http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/][Bastien Guerry]], is a setup to allow users to jointly
edit a number of Org-mode files containing documentation about
Org-mode, including the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php][Org Mode FAQ]] and [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php][Tutorials]]. Worg is similar
to a wiki in that allows community to edit the contents. However,
since it uses a distributed version control system, you do not have to
be online while editing it. If you'd like to contribute to Worg,
please go to [[http://orgmode.org/worg/][the Worg page]], and start from there.
** Contributing to Org-mode
You can always contribute with ideas and bug reports on the mailing
list. If you want to contribute a patch, code snippets, or a full
add-on, this is very welcome too! We do distribute good add-ons as
contributed packages. However, to integrate additions into the
Org-mode core, the author needs to assign the copyright to the [[http://www.fsf.org/][Free
Software Foundation]]. This is because Org-mode is part of Emacs, which
adheres to very strict rules. If you would like to sign the papers,
use [[file:request-assign-future.txt][this form]], fill it in and [[mailto:assign@gnu.org,carsten.dominik@gmail.com][send]] it to the FSF with a copy to the
Org-mode maintainer.
