Thanks for your interest and appreciation!

Yes, indeed.  It is going to be generic and initially we would want
the orgmode macros to work. Since gnowsys-mode is developed on top of
orgmode, gnowsys specific macros would work as well.  We indent to use
it mainly for rendering org buffer into html.  Ultimate objective is
to save web documents on the server side in pure text, not even html.

We will update this list when we begin to get some results.  The
student just started her work recently.  If you or any others on this
list would like to contribute in terms of ideas, that will be great.
