Looks interesting. Since the README is minimal, some questions: Is the intent to use the same format as, or otherwise interoperate with, org-mode for emacs? Also, worth comparing with vimoutliner? ( http://vimoutliner.org )

It looks like it uses the same format. At the end of first video[1], he shells out to an emacs server to format the .org file as html.

Wonderful project, it seems I'm not the only one who was reluctant to switch to Emacs just for org-mode.

With viper it's almost like not switching :P

I disagree, Viper mode is a very thin imitation of a few Vim commands. Slightly too thin for my liking, even on the most compatible of modes :p

Besides, to really experience the benefits of Emacs you have to dive right in. There are many Emacs features I wish Vim had but I fear many of these diminish in value when taken out of their natural environment. The reverse can also be argued to a lesser extent.

Maybe take a look at this then: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Vimpulse but it all really matters how much and which way you use vim.

Oh cool, it'll be interesting to see if that makes a switch more compelling.
