Getting this setup wouldn't be hard and I could pretty easily get this running/setup (and I'd be willing to host it.) The major limitation with using non-markdown text in Ikiwiki is that ikiwiki is built with the assumption that html can be injected into the _source_ material before the markup processor runs, and the markup processor will ignore the html. (This is how the wiki links work in ikiwiki.) Now it's possible to run ikiwiki without the link plugin, to disable this behavior, but then you're left without much of a wiki. I'm not sure what other kinds of generated content is broken if you can't inject HTML, but I'd guess most of it. Once you start cutting I think you basically end up with a web-based editor, and a half decent incremental rebuild system. (but only half decent.) Therefore, if having Worg built using org-mode syntax/files is important to you, the current solution or some variant thereon is probably the best bet...
