Carsten Dominik said unto the world at 09/06/09 08:48 AM: OK, in my last email I already said that we have been selected as a finalist for the Sourceforge Community Award in the category Most Likely to Change the Way You Do Everything. I am *very* excited about this, and I would love *us* to win this award or at least deliver a very good showing. snip Below are the questions from sourceforge, let the brainstorming begin! - Carsten -- 1. Complete this sentence in about 140 characters: Our project is [-foo-]. For example, Our project is a tool that helps you wash your car. Org-mode allows you to master your personal and project information your way, in plain text, with features which stay out of your way until you want them, all backed by the power of Emacs. (I didn't notice a mention of Emacs in other suggestions; seems essential to me.) 3. Please provide a logo (or screenshot, if you'd prefer) for your project. It should be at least 640x480, but we'll also be showing it as a thumbnail. If you go the screenshot way (along the lines of Carsten's mock-up), I'd suggest using split windows to show off more than one aspect of org-mode. I'm thinking a vertical split with an agenda buffer in one window. Static screenshots don't really do org-mode justice---it's text and superficially just text---and that might give a glimpse into how it is more. Congrats on the well deserved finalist slot.

Hi Carsten, great news - suggestions below! 1. Complete this sentence in about 140 characters: Our project is [-foo-]. For example, Our project is a tool that helps you wash your car.

If adding sound is too much trouble, one could describe each photo with text, maybe even org-mode style text. It shouldn't be too hard to make such a video.

Congratulations! Org-mode, Carsten and the developers deserve the recognition. Now let's see. 1. Complete this sentence in about 140 characters: Our project is [-foo-]. For example, Our project is a tool that helps you wash your car. Org-mode is the definition of lite weight productivity software. It's all the tools you need for planning, scheduling, managing projects, organizing thoughts and more in a well documented, easy to learn and use package. Organize information in lists, tables, spread sheets, outlines and more. Mark up, tag, cross reference, annotate and link to/from your notes and information in the manner that suites you best using the features you find useful while safely ignoring those features you don't need. Export and publish your information in several formats for presentation or interoperability. Extend it to better suite the way you work and think using builtin hooks and APIs. [too long, and yet not enough. maybe...] Org-mode is the simple, powerful management organization tool that other tools will have to try to match in flexibility and simplicity. 2. Complete this sentence, also in about 140 characters: We should win because [-bar-]. For example, We should win because we have a strong community and we solve a universal problem. Org-mode already sets the bar high for organization tools and its community has just begun developing plugins and useful/unexpected extensions. [It hurts to abbreviate it that much.] That all I got. I'm no good at video or art. Sorry. Edd ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
