+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
