And this is exactly what orgmode.org tells you from the start: ,----[ http://www.orgmode.org ] | 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 five minutes. | This may be all you need, and Org mode will not impose more complex | features on you. `---- with a link to http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/orgtutorial_dto.html There is also the compact guide, which is the first link on the documentation page: http://orgmode.org/guide/index.html I don't know how hard org is (or is not) for emacs users; I came to emacs because of org and started from there :). My first post to this list is from mid 2008 (... that long already?) and it is getting more and more complex; I could pick up new features along the way. If you are new to org and/or emacs: Take it easy :). I know it is tempting to try everything at once, but don't get frustrated while doing so. IMHO & FWIW Memnon
