Around the time org mode manual crossed the 200(?) page mark there was some
talk of having a mini-manual or something like that

At that time I suggested that since org is a world in itself
a bunch of intros targeted at specific audiences may be a good idea:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-03/msg00660.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-02/msg00197.html

Since emacs is a superset of org half dozen emacs-intros from different slants
could certainly help
