Feature value
I'm a vim user since many years ago, I moved to neovim a long time ago and I recently updated my vimrc with Lua configs.
I've no experience with emacs. Nothing.
I have read and watched videos about org mode. I'm really interested, so the first thing I did was look for some plugin in vim for emulating org mode. I have found this project, and it's exciting, but I don't know how to start.
I'm reading org mode manual, and I also had a look at the doc, but some things I'd like to have in this project are a small tutorial, or a resource reference for learning more about org-mode, specifically using this plugin.
It would be nice to have a FAQ in the main plugin page. For example:
- What is org mode
- Where can I learn more about org mode
- How can I use org mode as a productivity tool
- How to use the agenda, todos or any other topic
I don't know where to start.

Adding more info about orgmode and related links / resources is a good idea. But I am against putting it (and a FAQ section) into the README.md, except as a link (like we do for the docs). It is already quite long.
Concerning the tutorial: what do have in mind here? An example workflow where you create a todo.org and we explain how to add headlines, TODO states, agenda & capture, archiving, ... ?
Yes, I agree with not putting the FAQs in the README, but in the page, that's what I meant. It would be nice to have a nice "Getting started" in the vim docs
For the tutorial, that's exactly what I meant. I don't know even how to start, how to organize the files, or how to find the right mapping. There are a lot of mappings, I'm totally lost. It would be nice to have the most used mapping in the "getting started" section.
I already saw an issue about improving mappings explanation #314. In my case, I can open and write an org file but I don't know how to be proficient and use the keys and commands that this plugin provides.
I'm speaking as someone that knows nothing about orgmode. I guess there are other people like me out there :-)
I know you can organize org files as you like. There are many "frameworks" for the organization, like "Getting Things Done" and many others. But I would find an explanation of a basic layout helpful, and maybe add at the end of the section references to articles/books/videos explaining other methodologies.
Thanks!
Sorry, I misread that. Yes, I think it would fit well on the homepage.
I'll require some time to think of how to layout such a tutorial. Do you have a list of things that should absolutely be in there in your opinion? I take many things for granted with the plugin now, you know best where a beginner needs help. What are the things you are trying to do?
Sure, I will prepare an outline. I'm learning many things already, and I think I could write the most problematic barriers new users find when getting started with org mode.
Do you want me to create a PR in nvim-orgmode.github.io so I can write the outline, the things I have learned and let the community and the experts fill the gaps I miss?
BTW, the more I learn about this plugin, the most amazing I find it!
Yeah, a PR in nvim-orgmode.github.io sounds good. Looking forward to it :+1:
There's a Getting started section here https://nvim-orgmode.github.io/getting_started.html that could be the place for this.
Related to #183.
