Objet: Emacs' Org-mode clone for Vim

I've been working on a clone of Emacs' Org-mode and wanted to announce
an early version of it that's available (for the adventurous) at
Github:
https://github.com/hsitz/VimOrganizer

There are also a bunch of videos illustrating some of the
functionality here:
http://vimeo.com/

For those who don't know what Org-mode is you can read about it at the
Org-mode site:
http://orgmode.org/

It's hard to describe exactly what Org-mode is and what it can do.
Some people think it's
just an outliner with some task management capability. And it is
that. But it can do
much more, with uses mostly limited by your imagination. E.g, it can
be used as a high quality
document authoring system that exports nicely formatted docs to LaTeX/
PDF.
Or it can be used as a literate programming environment. The Emacs
Org-mode
feature set is broad and deep; I think there are few people who even
know everything it
can do, much less who use a large percentage of its features. It's
very usable and many
people use it just as a simple outliner. But if you want to go beyond
that the features
are there to use.

I've got a good start on implementing a lot of the major features and
people who
are the "early adopter" type may be interested in giving it a spin
right now. I'd be
happy to hear feedback.

Regards,

Herb Sitz

Hi Herb,

I'm glad you are releasing your work here.
So a shame you felt the need to fork from VO.
(I will definitely pick a look at your code !)
