Perhaps we can have a separate worg page just for parsers, reporting the ones that seem to fully work. I disagree that a parser is too difficult to maintain because Org is=20 a moving target. Org core syntax is not moving anymore, a parser can reasonably target it. That's what is done with the Ruby parser, in use in this small project called github.com :) So I'd say: - let's enhance Worg's documentation - yes, please go for enhancing parsing tools I don't think we need official tools. The official Org parser exists, it is Org itself. Thanks, --=20 Bastien
