Org is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, and doing
project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.

Org keeps simple things simple. When first fired up, it should feel
like a straightforward, easy to use outliner. Complexity is not
imposed, but a large amount of functionality is available when you
need it. Org is a toolbox and can be used in different ways, for
example as:

- an outline extension with visibility cycling and structure editing
- an ASCII system and table editor for taking structured notes
- an ASCII table editor with spreadsheet-like capabilities
- a TODO list editor
- a full agenda and planner with deadlines and work scheduling
- an environment to implement David Allen's GTD system
- a basic database application
- a simple hypertext system, with HTML and LaTeX export
- a publishing tool to create a set of interlinked webpages
