Org Blogs and Wikis
There is a strong desire to use Org-mode to manage both blogs and wikis. There are a number of tools which address parts of this need, this page will serve as a collecting of the names of these tools with links and brief descriptions. I'm sure I've forgotten many relevant tools so please contribute!
Blogging tools
- o-blog
- Standalone blogging system that does not require any external software (features, Github source).
- Jekyll
- a simple, blog aware, static site generator. There are instructions for combining Org-mode with jekyll at Org-Jekyll.
- Projects
- In most cases using Org-mode publishing projects with its many options should be sufficient for publishing a blog.
- Blorgit
- publish an interactive website based on Org-mode documents. While blorgit has many nice features including the fact that Org-mode documents can be edited through the web interface with automatic commits to a git or svn repository however it is fairly complicated to set up. Blorgit is one or two small changes from being a full-fledged Org-mode based wiki.
- blog-files
- A simple system based on ideas and code from org-jekyll and reprise.py to publish a blog using simple static html pages. Used for publishing this blog py Puneeth Chaganti.
- org2blog
- allows publishing directly from Org-mode to WordPress
- Org-mode and Octopress
- Instructions for blogging With Org-mode and Octopress
- Blorg
- the original Org-mode blogging engine (but it's not maintained anymore). Roland Kaufmann is maintaining a fork here.
- a blog-like sitemap for org-publish
- see this post by Jon Anders Skorpen.
Wiki tools
- ikiwiki is a web site compiler written in Perl. In many ways it is
similar to Jekyll, but has closer integration with version control
systems. It supports blogging and has many plugins.
There is an org mode plugin by Manoj, which lets you write your posts in org and converts them to html suitable for processing by ikiwiki.
There is another plugin by Chris Gray that interprets org files. It is still under intermittent development, but is stable enough for general use.
