Thanks, my hands don't type well anymore or I might've considered it,

Oh! I forgot about Infodock!  OO-Browser would be good for the
developers in the crowd.  Perhaps the new interest of Hyperbole v8 will
spur interest in OO-Browsr.

I know it would be good to revive it.  Just need more time than I have now.

I didn't see in the documentation on how to convert a Koutline to a star
outline.  That would be useful to me (especially if you could go the
other way as well).  With this capability, it shouldn't be too hard
write a standard file header in (say) commented Latex that could be
included in the file (via a post-hook) which could then be run through
org-export via org-publish.

Just use {M-x kimport:star-outline RET} when in an Org or Emacs outline buffer to create a Koutline from them.

I just checked and there doesn't seem to be an equivalent kexport:star-outline but you could probably write it without too much effort using the existing kview:map-siblings function and starting from the first cell.
