During the June meeting we had a wonderful discussion (among many others) about how we could improve the Org documentation.  One section could work better in a different location,  an undefined term was defined, and perspectives were shared that led to ideas for improvements.

I'm happy to report that everyone's input resulted in a meaningful change to the Org manual and function API!

See the following commits for details:

doc/org-manual.org: Reorder sections (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=1b5451a10504ad5d17453e15bba5ea1cb0394399)
