Using the French acronym, or "inventing" MCE? I stand for ECM. Thanks for this explanation, Seb! I wrote an FAQ about it: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#ecm I also wrote up a few FAQs that might be helpful for new users: - Can Org-mode do "x"? Does org have "x" feature? + http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#can-org-do-x + Provides tips on where to look to see if org has a particular feature. + A friendly version of RTFM. :) - I think my Org-mode is broken! How do I report a bug? + http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#bug-reporting - What should I do before contacting the mailing list? + http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#when-to-contact-mailing-list Please feel free to edit (or send me patches) as you see fit.
