Hi David,

Sorry my website on org-mode is stale and I don't currently have time to
update it.  I stopped updating it in 2015 after changing jobs and moving
to the windows platform (at work).  My main issue is lack of free time
to spend on this project.

The downloadable org file is actually the result of publishing the org
source from my very out-of-date Linux workstation.  The original org
file (all versions) is available in the git repository.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have related to the site or my
current use of org-mode.  I still work in a similar way described on
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html but my agenda and some workflows have
evolved a bit from what is described in the document.

Regards,
Bernt
