Org is a large and diverse system and something to help (us perennial
:-) newbies is always welcome.

But I wonder if there are really too many experts as against users
whose patterns of usage are expert in one area and noob in others.
For example consider: Using org for:
* Brainstorming
* GTD, mobile org
* Publishing
* Literate Programming (via babel)
* Statistical analysis (spreadsheet, R)

Is it not likely that most people are going to be expert in (at most)
a few of these and not really expert in the others?
