All the wiki-like features you mentioned can be "emulated" with Emacs + Org-mode + a distributed versioning system. As far as communication is concerned (i.e. your idea of people talking to each others thru org-mode pages) I think it is possible to hook some scripts to your "git push" command, then let the scripts decide whether they should send an email to someone or not Simple example: when pushing changes on a page where you are not the main author (i.e. not in the #+AUTHOR line), send an email to these author about the change. I'm sure Bernt can write such a script :) The idea of communication only with org-mode files, I don't get it. Email is powerful, why don't use it? Same for the HTML output of org-mode+git pages, I don't see why we should live without it. In any case, I would be delighted to see Worg clones, exploring org-mode+git possibilities way beyond Worg! best, -- Bastien
