[Orgmode] Re: A bright new Org-mode clone project
there must be something special with today ... :-) nice one Detlef On Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:39:14 +0200 Julien Barnier jul...@no-log.org wrote: Dear org-moders, Today is quite a special day for me, and for many of org-mode users I think, because I'm going to introduce a project that, I believe, could really help to promote and transform org-mode as a major killer-app. It has been a long time since I think about it, but now I am going to fork the org-mode project. I say fork, but I should better say clone, because the idea is to reimplement org-mode from scratch while keeping the same features, and much more. Why restart from scratch ? Because I think that org-mode should be easier to install and run on different OSes. That's why I'm going to rewrite it in C#/Mono : this will assure that the new project can run on every machine you can think about, and it would be much lighter on resources (especially memory) than Emacs. Another major change from the current org-mode will be the shortcuts and general organization of the interface. Because Emacs keys are really to complicated and quite outdated, I'm going to reimplement org-mode with a modern graphical interface, which would be almost exclusively mouse driven. I also plan to add some 3D compiz-like effects that would allow some text animation or blinking in order to make tags and keywords more visible. As you see, the project is already quite advanced and mature. The last thing I have to do is to find a name for it. I was thinking of smog-mode, or maybe frog-mode, but I'm open to any suggestion.

I think it would be quite innovative if the user could move headlines/entries by 1) selecting text with the mouse, 2) using a drop-down menu option to cut the selection, 3) selecting a destination with the mouse, and 4) using a drop-down menu option to paste the text. Also, I would like to request WYSIWYG formatting. Have you considered a binary format for the files? Then we could use styles to demarcate separate sections of an org-file instead of all those asterisks!! I also plan to add some 3D compiz-like effects that would allow some text animation or blinking in order to make tags and keywords more visible. Might I request spinning text? ;) As you see, the project is already quite advanced and mature. The last thing I have to do is to find a name for it.

You are talking about the tiny embedded ones, aren't you? That's why I'm going to rewrite it in C#/Mono : I have no idea why you want to rewrite org-mode in C++ (aren't you going too far by superimposing the two `+' to save just one character?) but I have news for you: org-mode already works fine with monospaced fonts. But all in all, I'll love to run org-mode on my new VHS video recorder, no matter the font you use. Good luck!
