You maintain a tree of te= xt documents in VCS, compile them into a network of linked HTML documents o= n demand (or on commit via a hook) and publish them on any http server (or = whatever). Ikiwiki has an exporter framework that invokes different tools to export (o= r compile) different file formats. For example, it is trivial to configure= it to render foo.lisp and bar.c as foo.lisp.html and bar.c.html, which con= tain pretty renderings of the code. There is an org-mode plugin[2] for ikiwiki that I am experimenting with. I= t invokes an Emacs session to call the org exporter. Like most wikis, ikiwiki also allows users to create and edit content via h= ttp. (Being perl, ikiwiki uses (modern) CGI.) The interface is a simple H= TML text area. I intend to allow users to alter .org files via ikiwiki's web interface and= have ikiwiki run them through the org exporter after each save (which is a= lso a VCS commit). When users start to feel limited by the textbox, I'll suggest that they use= Emacs and grant them direct file access to the VCS that stores all the .or= g files. (git in my case.) Wish me luck. :) Incidentally, I'd find an org-mode vs. Microsoft OneNote feature comparison= matrix useful. Anybody got that?
