  ** Org-mode is now part of the Emacs distribution
  
! Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and doing
! project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.  It also
! contains an amazing plain-text table editor with spreadsheet-like
  capabilities.
  
- Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that contain
- information about projects as plain text.  Org-mode is implemented on
- top of outline-mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of
- large files well structured.  Visibility cycling and structure editing
- help to work with the tree.  Tables are easily created with a built-in
- table editor.  Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps,
- and scheduling.  It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda that
- utilizes and smoothly integrates much of the Emacs calendar and diary.
- Plain text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, usenet
- messages, BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects.  For
- printing and sharing of notes, an Org-mode file can be exported as a
- structured ASCII file, or as HTML.
- 
- Org-mode keeps simple things simple.  Not every outline branch needs
- to be an action item, not every action item needs to have priority or
- scheduling information associated with it.  Org-mode can be used on
- different levels and in different ways, for example as
- 
-   * an outline extension with visibility cycling and structure editing
-   * an ASCII system and table editor to take structured notes
-   * an ASCII table editor with some spreadsheet-like capabilities
-   * a simple hypertext system, with HTML export
-   * a TODO list editor
-   * a full agenda and planner with deadlines and work scheduling
- 
  The Org-mode table editor can be integrated into any major mode by
  activating the minor Orgtbl-mode.
