Hi David, 

Yes, the maintainers are watching this list :) I'm one of them.

It looks like John gave a nice thorough answer for most things, so I
won't repeat his responses.

You will need to define org-mobile-directory, using Dropbox the correct
default setting is: "~/Dropbox/Apps/MobileOrg"

For example, I have

 (setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/Apps/MobileOrg")

in my config.

Then you can org-mobile-push to stage your files in this location.

You should not manually create any folders in Dropbox.

Your org-agenda-files will be staged and an index.org file and
checksums.dat will be created.

MobileOrg needs to be authorized as a dropbox app, this step will create
the correct path.

org-mobile-pull will pull in changes.

A while back I outlined basic troubleshooting steps that should help:
https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/wiki/Troubleshooting

Feel free to contact me directly with questions or hop in #mobileorg on
freenode irc if that's better for you.

I started work on an improved documentation site, but it needs an
overhaul to be easier for others to contribute.
