- already uses the ".org.txt" file extension, so that tools that don't otherwise support the org file type will at the very least read them
- sorry to have missed out on the discussion during your talk, but I'm extremely interested in getting org working outside elisp (re: https://github.com/tgbugs/laundry/tree/next). I started there long ago, at this point the issues that really need standardization is org-babel, but in order to do that we need the syntax settled, which has turned out to be a _lot_ of work
- having orgdown as a way to talk about files that have org syntax seems like it is a critical piece for effective outreach
-
+- would it be worth considering a decoupling of the "orgdown" proposal into 1) just a proposal to rename "org" the markup as "orgdown" (vs "org-mode" for the piece of software running in Emacs), and 2) all the rest as in the levels/etc? Just to not put the first at risk of non-adoption because of the contents of the second? There seems to be a lot of positive sentiment towards solving #1 for sure.
+ - orgdown is not org, the markup
+ - orgdown is lightweight org, it does not have all the features
+ - In general I agree, there will be issues with how to approach the levels
+ - publicvoit: Valid approach but this train has left the station already by the decision of myself to provide OD1 to the public this weekend.
+- To be fair, I personally don't think adding tiers to org-mode makes much sense
+ - We should rather have a feature matrix for stuff like pandoc to check against
+ - developing the test suite will get us there, and then we can have the discussion about how to market the levels
+- I think we could adopt orgdown almost immediately without issue
+- I don't really see a big issue with org-mode vs. org vs. orgWHATEVER though
+ - there are major search and discovery issues with bare "org"
+ - I tend to use "org syntax" at the moment, but it isn't catchy enough

# Outline
- The term Org mode stands for different things
