Worg could do with some reorganization. It is not at all easy to find
stuff in there (at least, using a web browser). I don't currently use
Org to publish a website so I may be missing lots of tricks here, but I
see two problems at least:

1. There is no clear distinction between files in the root folder and
   files in org-tutorials/. Probably also org-configs/ and org-contrib/
   could be added to this list (people don't know what's in contrib and
   what is in Org and what is just somewhere else on the web)
2. Worse, aIui we are relying on manual maintenance of index pages, with
   results like the above.

This suggests to me firstly that we should do away with some of the hard
directory structure and place most/all of the config/tutorial type files
in a single directory.

Secondly, does Org possess any technology that can be used to
automatically generate a useful index for Worg? Or
alternately/additionally a sitemap or other automated representation of
the full file/directory structure (e.g. using org-fstree[1])?
