Dear all,
I'm writing to see if there's anyway to use org-like outline in ALL
kinds of files, like my emacs configuration file, whose suffix
is .el. Could I tell Emacs
;;; headline 1
;; headline 2
And it begin to have the ability to display my el file just as Org
does?
Besides, is there any active mailing list of common Emacs questions?
Any suggestion is welcomed, thanks!

Aloha Chao,
Org-babel lets you keep source code for many languages in Org-mode
files. You have to tangle the Org-mode file to create the source code
file, so there are some intermediate steps, but it does bring many of
the advantages of Org-mode to editing and maintaining source code in
other languages. The Org-babel Introduction includes an example of
how to manage an emacs configuration in Org-mode:

Eric Schulte has an emacs starter kit with a very useful
implementation of this idea:
