You are right: Taken out of context your quote is 'not light reading'. But to be fair, just one paragraph before that quote, all the seemingly missing information - especially the explanation of metadat - is given: One of the primary design goals of Org-mode was to define a system that > combines efficient note-taking and brainstorming with a task management and > project planning system. A single Org-mode document can hold the notes > together with all the data necessary to keep track of tasks and projects > associated with the notes. This is accomplished by assigning metadata to > outline nodes using a special syntax. Metadata for a node can include a > task state, like TODO or DONE, a priority, and one or more tags, dates, > and arbitrary key-value pairs called properties. In the following example > the top-level node is a task with state TODO, a priority of A, and tagged > for urgent attention at work. The task has been scheduled for 18 August > 2010 and a property indicates that it was delegated to Peter. > > * TODO [#A] Some task :@work:urgent: > , SCHEDULED: <2010-08-18 Wed> > , :PROPERTIES: > , :delegated_to: Peter > , :END: > > The whole document looks so promising that I will give Org-mode a serious try.
