Hi,
recently I discovered gollumn [1] and was amazed to see that there is a
software which allows non-orgers to work with / read my org-files and which
even use git as the backend to get all save and nice together, even if
working concurrently on the same files.

I was wondering, because I never read about gollum in this ML and my search
only revealed a very short three year old thread between Bastien and Eric
Schulte. Despite that many of us was asking of possible ways how to use org
as a groupware like environment. I guess this topic was discussed even more
frequently over the last three years.
Unfortunately, the main drawback, the usage of org-ruby [2] as org-mode
parser still remains. I frighten that org-ruby only works on a small subset
of the org-mode syntax and that even this might be a bit out-of-date. As
far as I understood, org-mode in the meantime switched to a new exporter
[3] and we got org-elements [4] and a heavy work towards standardization
thanks to Nicolas Goaziou.

What would be the best way to get the best out of the gollum idea and the
new org-mode capabilities?

- Skip gollumn and use (an updated) blorgit [5] (Does it have editor
functionality?) ?
- Enhance org-ruby?
- Write a small script which creates a native html export from org-mode and
hook this into gollumn? However, that would require emacs and org-mode
being installed on the server side.

For me gollums most important feature would be that people could use their
web-browser and edit org-files. It might not be the most comfortable way of
editing a org-file but a simple adding of a row into a table or rephrasing
or adding a paragraph would be totally possible. It even might help to
introduce people into using emacs and org-mode.

It would be really nice to have such an easy access to org-files. Even
hard-core orgers might like the idea to e.g. access and lightly modify
there org-files on-the-go via smartphones and tablets without running a
full emacs session. (I am aware of Mobileorg ;) )

I got a bit into detail here to hopefully kick-off some discussions.

All the best

Torsten
