org-mode 
Original author(s) Carsten Dominik et. al Developer(s) Bastien Guerry Stable release 7.7 / July 28, 2011[1] Written in Emacs lisp Type Personal information management, Notetaking, Outlining, ... License GPL Website http://www.orgmode.org/ Org-mode is an editing mode in the text editor Emacs which supports the editing of plain text hierarchical documents. It has specific support for a number of different use cases, such as writing to-do lists, project planning, and writing web pages. For example, to-do items can optionally be given priorities and deadlines, subdivided into sub-to-dos or checklists, and given tags and properties. An agenda for the items to be done this week can then be automatically generated by org-mode.[2]
Most aspects of org-mode's behaviour are customisable, in the standard Emacs ways (that is, either by setting variables directly, or by using the more user-friendly Customize interface).
Since Emacs version 22, org-mode has been part of Emacs[3] - although it is also released separately, and newer versions of org-mode than the ones shipped with Emacs are often available.

Distributed issue tracking
Org-mode can be used as a distributed issue tracker, by storing .org files in a distributed revision control system. Developers of the org-babel extension to org-mode use org-mode in this way to track bugs and feature requests.[4]
