Why don't you just shell out to Emacs for the things you need?
E.g. I have a Git repository that hosts an Org-mode file, when you push to it emacs is invoked on the server and converts the file to a HTML file that serves as a shared TODO / Bug list.
You don't have to use Emacs for everything to use Org, just have it export the data you need from the text you're editing in your $EDITOR of choice.

Procrastination at his best! Writing a blog post about how to optimize your tasks by customizing and configuring a mode of Emacs!
Obviously, I'm not totally serious here since it seems that he use it effectively each weeks; And I'm also happy that he shared it with us. However, talking for me, my best todo process consists of "Do it NOW else write it in todo.txt".

I know!
He could probably better optimize his tasks by typing C-x C-c, then going out & buying a small notepad & pen ;)
(I kid! I kid! Cool project really)
[edit] downvoted! I'll C-c r & remind myself not to make cheap emacs jokes in future.

Here's another good overview of an org-mode workflow, goes WAY more in-depth that just GTD:

I use orgmode every day. There is also a nice iPhone/iPad app to have your schedule on the go.

You're all almost making me switch. Almost...
Quick! Help me, vimsters.

I was a vimmer then org-mode got me and beat me down. Now I'm part of the Cult of Emacs. ;)
Let alone the switch to Emacs, but I've been trying to implement GTD since college, using all sorts of tools, and I've read the book I don't know how many times, and I still feel like it's over my head.
Are there any alternatives?

Try Autofocus [1]. I quite liked it though I eventually gave it up as too simple.

Thanks, I tried that too, though it was a few years ago. What made you think it was too simple to work though?
Does anyone know where you can see other user's org configurations? Or a canonical configuration? It'd be interesting to see how users use org-modes capabilities in different ways. (I don't mean blog posts, just raw configs)
Lots of people store their .emacs files on github, so you can start plugging variations of "org-mode" into search and it'll usually hit on either filenames (for those of us that split our .emacs into multiple files) or setup code itself. Will probably be a bit messy against all of the people forking org, but it's still worth a shot.

Taskwarrior is a decent command line alternative to org-mode, but is lacking in the scheduling of tasks department.
