I plan to bring attention to Emacs by publishing a wiki on our intran= et.

ikiwiki[1] is a simple perl based wiki compiler. =A0You maintain a tree of = text documents in VCS, compile them into a network of linked HTML documents= on demand (or on commit via a hook) and publish them on any http server (o= r whatever).

Ikiwiki has an exporter framework that invokes different tools to export (o= r compile) different file formats. =A0For example, it is trivial to configu= re it to render foo.lisp and bar.c as foo.lisp.html and bar.c.html, which c= ontain pretty renderings of the code.

There is an org-mode plugin[2] for ikiwiki that I am experimenting with. = =A0It invokes an Emacs session to call the org exporter.

Like most wikis, ikiwiki also allows users to create and edit content via h= ttp. =A0(Being perl, ikiwiki uses (modern) CGI.) =A0The interface is a simp= le HTML 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 also 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= .org files. (git in my case.)

Wish me luck. :)

Incidentally, I'd find an org-mode vs. Microsoft OneNote feature compar= ison matrix useful. =A0Anybody got that?

Cheers,
--Dave
