I think this is a good candidate for an FAQ entry.

Yes, as a long-time vim user, I was certainly in that category. And I have to say that your very helpful and accessible tutorials were one of the first things that drew me to org-mode (and emacs) in the first place.

[Orgmode] Seeking further clarification of org-refile-targets variable
I am having trouble understanding the help text for org-refile-targets. I don't know what a "cons cell" is and I would like to see some examples of customising the variable. For example, how can I specify headings of levels 1 and 2? I entered the value of (:level . N). in the customization prompt but now I get a message "No refile targets". Perhaps some examples for non-Lisp programmers would be helpful. As org-mode popularity increases, the users are not necessarily Lisp-literate, and I have read messages from users willing to learn Emacs just to use org-mode!
