Or am I > wrong? Worg is loosely realated to orgmode.org. We link back and forth, but stuff committed to Worg will always show up below orgmode.org/worg/. It's not a wiki though. We push to a common repo, and that repo is pulled (I think once an hour) and then exported on (or to??) the server by emacs. That's how the site is kept up to date. > On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 4:52 PM, Russell Adams wrote: >>> I wonder what is the best way to implement a wiki with org?

I have no problem with this syntax here: [[file:../relative/path.org][Look here]] http://orgmode.org/worg file:./file.png file:somefile.org You can create the page simply by clicking on the (file) link or pressing `C-c C-o' while on it. You go back to the link with `C-x &' later on. And, automatic link creation can be done the other way round in Org-mode: If you visit an interesting place (a web page, email, man page...) you store a link to that location, whenever you either `remember' something, or through `C-c L', or click your org-remember bookmark, org-store-link bookmark, org-open-source bookmark.... In the `C-c L' case you may insert the link later on by pressing `C-c C-l'. In case you clicked a `store-link' bookmark, simple yanking is enough. Hm - `C-c L' and remember are even more usefull. For emacs users _very_ usefull, since you may store usefull links to a place _inside_ a source file to a file _inside_ a certain projects documentation/todo-file. But back to the wiki thing: why not use a WIKI when you need one ???? Org-mode is ready to generate online content, yes, but online content is not ready to cope with full fledged org files (should be feasable, but no one did it). Best wishes Sebastian
