I hope you appreciate the amount of effort that has gone in to writing such a big manual. You may not have a need for it. This doesn't mean that it is not worthwhile. At the minimum, we should respect other's labour particularly when you yourself [1] and many people are enjoying the fruits of it. Since you have some thoughts on how the manual should look like would you mind circulating a draft copy of the modified, improved manual? That's an open offer and a challenge as well. Remember Emacs/Orgmode is a Free Software and you have all the freedom in the world to influence how it evolves and specifically make sure that it evolves to suit your needs. Being a Free Software, the distinction between the consumer (aka user) and the contributor (aka developer) just blurs. Understanding this distinction requires a paradigm shift in the way you think. Footnotes: [1] It is not clear from your message whether you yourself are an Orgmode user. Jambunathan K.
