But if you want to collaborate with other people in my opinion you can't rely so much on importing/exporting. You would spend too much time to merge and fix manually stuff. I think that working with two products only (if the other one is a bit smart) using some elisp magic you can really create a mixed environment that works, but that's not a general solution. For example for the calendar. It would be nice to have a system where org-mode and $PROGRAM_X reads and writes at the same time on a webdav shared calendar. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I don't think that at the moment org-mode can be more than solitary habit. The "problem" is that org-mode runs on emacs, and really a small percentage of people can/want to use emacs. If I ever will be able to work with emacs-(ab)users org-mode can be really great to centralize documentation/agenda and everything we could think of. But to communicate with "normal" people the only way that I see is some sort of program which understands org-files but don't let the user do nasty things. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
