There is a separate group for Orgmode users:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/
    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/

Put forward your proposal there and see what the community has to say.

> However I should say, taking note in org-mode is just not

> 1. I am not familiar with taking notes in plain text file. Usually

> 2. I don't know how organize all my contents when it become more and
> more. With a hand writing notebook, I have physical "pages", in
> Microsoft Word, I also have virtual "pages". In org-mode org file, I
> don't. It's like my org file is a endless roll of toilet paper(forgive
> me for being rude)! And I think it's the main reason makes me feels so
> uncomfortable to handle org file.
> 3. Hard to import pictures, web pages...into org file.(In fact I don't know how).

> Is there any tips or suggestion to overcome these uncomfortable feeling?
