Wow. That's similar in vein to the project I've been working on slowly on the side for about a month now: http://bulletxt.com - it currently saves your notes via browser session but I'm working on making it like pastebin and having an account system. It'll be very much like a typical text-editor with the ability to sort tasks via drag-drop, copy-paste, and share task subtrees.
I highly doubt the emacs-type will end up using my app but it feels good to see I'm not the only one who has a need for organizing nested todo lists. I can't for the life of me figure out how everyone can deal with 1-level deep task lists.
So I love the web app. Super simple (especially with the keyboard shortcuts). Let me know when you have a login & saved lists will ya? Email in my profile.
However, there's a few general issues I'd like to see improved upon:
* External Collaboration (how can I get my PM to work with me on org-mode docs?) - Something like ikiwiki that works back and forth between web edits and emacs edits.
* Searching - Ideally, this would be part of the external collaboration piece. Spotlight/rgrep is ok for now, but not great.
* Easier linking/file creation - I'd love for org-mode to incorporate some of ideas/features in VoodooPad/Tomboy for easily creating new docs and linking to them. Could probably hack something together (and I have made a shortcut for file-links that uses ido-completion), but it'd be nice for this to be a central focus.
It's strange, but a simple text file always served my needs for TODO lists, even including notes and other information related to the TODOs. It is not pretty, but I do not have trouble finding my TODOs amidst the rest of the noise, since I am consistent with my left-side "start of a TODO line" and "start of a subTODO" symbols. Sometimes I think that having a neat, pretty TODO list program would be nice, but I learned that I find my text files much more portable (Notes on iPhone, a txt on Mac, txt in linux, txt on my Windows desktop).
According to a Google Tech Talk by the creator, a few people have switched from vi to emacs to get org-mode. The obvious implication is that there is nothing comparable for vi. However, the talk was in July of 2008, so maybe someone has created something since then.
In my extensive searches, there is nothing like it anywhere, running on anything. Without exaggeration, org-mode changed the way I organize my life, both at work and at home. It has a blindingly fast development pace, is already very mature, and is much more than just todo, calendar, and outlining.
I've been working on a todo list app for vim, loosely based on org mode. It doesn't cover many of org mode's features right now, but if you want to take a look anyway, the source is at http://git.mivok.net/gitweb/?p=vimtodo.git;a=summary

* render latex fragments inline (thanks to auctex)
* embed & run code (python, ruby, haskell, R, etc)
* text-mode spreadsheet (including cell functions)
* render ascii-art drawings to png (combine with M-x artist-mode)
* export via latex to pdf or html

In the meantime, I ssh from my phone to a box that has an up-to-date copy of my .org files.
