I can see that maintaining modular non-repetitive content is easier. Long-term maintenance of documentation should be an important concern for something that is under heavy development.

I hate a good resource getting lost in the Internet. So I would like to
suggest you make a shorter version for Worg, just focusing on the
"producing a complete document part": R, ESS, pandoc, and all.
Of course that requires more of your time and effort. So how about
using Worg as it is meant to be, copy paste the relevant sections into
worg and collaboratively trim it down to shape?
If people think that is a good idea, I could give this a first shot
sometime next week.
Cheers,
