A dream where all people, emacs orgmode devotees or not, can work together on a wiki. :-) I mean this: in an office environment, the majority of people would not be emacs users. So despite the excellent collaboration workflow based on sharing org files through git, the average office worker (such as myself) is stranded if they have to work on a wiki. I think what's needed is a way to sync changes between wiki and org, a kind of extension of wiki publishing. The task is complex and involves: - converters for various wikis (back and forth). May use a common central format such as Creole as a hub - a strategy to deal with unrecognized markup for both directions. Such should be left alone, not clobbered - a strategy to deal with mapping between org files/trees and wiki pages (often people map level1 or level2 org trees to a wiki page) - sync/diff functionality to merge changes and resolve conflicts -- in the simplest scenario, org could refresh a page from the wiki, obtain a page lock (most wikis support page locks), change only one page, commit it - read & write conduits for various wikis Is anyone interested in collaborating on this? What wikis are important for you?
