Just a little nit, but should we play up the emacs part?  ("... backed
by the power of Emacs.")  It is an important part of org-mode power,
but I'm just thinking about the emacs/vi flame wars and people who
might not be able to see past that fact that it's "just an emacs
editing mode" to give org-mode a fair look.  If we want to attract the
emacs fans, I think the screen shot will make it obvious to them.
Anyhow, it's just a thought.  It looks like everything is coming
together good.
