Thanks all!
For context, I just started implementing org-mode workplanning at my job (personal user since 2007) and it's increased my productivity 10x. As I manage others I was curious about hearing about how others use org-mode in a team setting. While I was at it, I thought that it would be helpful and interesting to get a gut-check on the basic idea I was thinking of implementing to collaborate with my team.
Some preliminary findings of interest:
- Tags are unpopular, only 56% of people use them. Especially surprising as 70% use source-code blocks.
- Largest barrier to further org mode usage is a lack of emacs expertise. Not really a surprise here.
- 75% of people put their org-mode files under git version control.
- We are all big promoters of using org-mode with the people we work with, and highly skeptical of their ability and desire to realize these benefits :)
- mobile and calendar integration have come up as major pains multiple times in free responses
I am hoping to condense findings into a pithy summary and post on github (or worg, although I've never figured out how to do that easily) so that everyone can see.
I also think the term "market research" significantly overestimates my ability / desire to execute on this :) I get the concern on GPL vs. non-GPL, I also really like org mode as it fundamentally gives me control over my own data, but given where this is right now (a google forms survey) I think it's kind of a moot discussion.
And yes, I know that the survey isn't very good, and that there are typos, and that certain things could have been asked better! I have made some revisions incorporating some of these comments.
Thanks again,
Ted
