- Simplicity :: At its core, Org-mode is a simple outliner for
     note-taking and list management. You can learn the basics for
     using it in [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/orgtutorial_dto.php][five minutes]].  This may be all you need, and Org-mode
     will not impose more complex features on you.
- Portability :: Org files are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_text][plain text]].  You can view and edit them
     in any editor, or add and extract data with custom-made scripts.
     Your data will never be locked into an obscure or proprietary
     data format.  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 broad and deep,
     easy to access, but unobtrusive.  The [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php][typical 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 [[http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html][documented extensively]], and many [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php][tutorials]]
     put spotlights on particular features.  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 [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#GPL][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]].

** 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!  Detailed information on how and
what to contribute can be found [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.php][here]].
