Are we assuming everyone knows that Org-mode is an Emacs package?
2 comments

As someone who has never used Org-mode, and only very briefly dabbled in Emacs during college, I actually think that's a pretty safe assumption around these parts. No?
Even if you are uncomfortable assuming that, search results for "org-mode"/"orgmode" are unambiguous and helpful for anyone out-of-the-loop and curious, so it doesn't seem exclusionary or like a secret in-joke reserved for a secret society of HN elite.
I'm far more uncomfortable assuming everyone has the interest to follow up on every comment.

Alternatively I prefer to assume that it'll give our commentary more value if we provide some helpful context.

If our goal is to share technologies that we think are useful, we have options to make that goal more successful.
