Carsten,
That looks really good! (except for the FIXME at the bottom ;) )
I really like this version :)
I haven't verified that the setup steps you described actually work.
Somebody(tm) should probably do that with a minimal emacs setup.
I also haven't verified all the links referenced in the document go to
appropriate places.
Hmmm my setup doesn't have (org-remember-insinuate) (well it does
now!) -- I wonder what breaks if that is missing.
org-remember-insinuate is simply a shortcut for the
old setup where you had to add functions to hooks yourself.
The definition of it is:
(defun org-remember-insinuate ()
"Setup remember.el for use with Org-mode."
(org-require-remember)
(setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
(setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
(add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template))
It actually does one more thing: If remember.el is not
found, it defines a miniature, just functional version of it.

A lot more appropriate now, I think. Bernt?

I think a lot of these variables are things you play with _after_
using
org-mode for awhile. Maybe the following variables should be
introduced
later?
- org-archive-location
the default works, and you don't archive anytime soon after
starting
to use org-mode.
- org-startup-folded
start with #STARTUP first?
- org-odd-levels-only
Talk about the conversion functions too (org-convert-to-odd-levels
and org-convert-to-oddeven-levels.) I switched my files back and
forth a few times but ended up with oddeven levels due to the
depth
of some of my tasks.
- org-special-ctrl-a/e
- org-special-ctrl-k
I should maybe try these one day :)
I've used org-mode for a few years now and I don't currently use
these
variables. They're great to have but not essential to getting
started.
The default values for the variables work in most cases. I think
the
ones that should be listed first are the ones you really have to
customize to get org-mode to work for you. Beginners will not want
nor
need this amount of detail to be productive with org-mode. Having
too
many variables to set up or play with up front may just scare people
away.
Maybe we just need to stress that customizations are optional and
you
can completely ignore entire sections that don't apply to you
(clocking,
exporting, etc.) until you feel you need these additional features.
HTH,
Bernt
