Org is an Emacs mode for keeping notes, maintaining to-do lists, and doing project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system. (as the Org manual says.)
Worg is an attempt to collectively built a knowledge database about Org, planning in plain text and other related topics.
Because Org makes it easy, fast and effective to edit well-structured files. Ever wanted to edit a table in a wiki? Ever wanted to change the outline structure in a wikipage? Ever wanted to edit lists quickly? Org lets you do this.
Because Org-mode makes beautiful documents : it support links, font beautification, examples, etc. And you can export those documents to HTML or LaTeX.
Because Org is also a powerful task-management system. Hopefully sharing a TODO file will make it easy for everyone to know where he could help.
No. Yes. Kind of. Here are a few differences:
worg-todo.org in the Worg directory) to your org-agenda-files and
see your list of task populated by tasks added by other people…
Everyone with a minimal knowledge of Org (and Emacs) and git. See the page describing how to use git for editing Worg for details.
It's better to register on http://repo.or.cz/m/reguser.cgi/ but you can also add changes to the Worg repository anonymously.
Everything related to Org, project planning in plain text and the Org community. Go crazy!
Worg was started by Bastien in the hope that other Org-ers around will bite into this and start sharing tutorials, example of codes, etc.
The first thing you need to know is how to use git for Worg. The second thing you might be interested in are general advices and conventions on how to let Worg grow.
