Re: [Orgmode] community writing?

[Rick Moynihan]

I think this is a great idea.  My use of org-mode is improving, but I'm 
not yet 100% comfortable with it.  I recently refactored how I have been 
using org-mode; and I'm not there yet.

There's no question that org-mode is a fantastic tool for organising 
yourself.  Its power comes from it not imposing a structure or workflow 
on you.  Unfortunately; this means that it takes commitment and time 
before you become proficient.  When you have a small system going in 
org-mode you can get away with mistakes, unfortunately as you add more 
information it gets harder if the structures you've defined don't scale.

The various org-mode guides out there are a great start, but I like you 
think we need something more.  I'd also be interested in seeing the 
pro's and con's to the various org-mode tools, e.g. KEYWORDS, TAGS, 
OUTLINES, and patterns suited to their usage etc...
