14 There is a strong desire to use Org-mode to manage both blogs and
15 wikis. There are a number of tools which address parts of this need, this
16 page will serve as a collecting of the names of these tools with links and
17 brief descriptions. I'm sure I've forgotten many relevant tools so *please
22 - [[http://renard.github.com/o-blog][o-blog]] :: Stand-alone blogging system that does not require any external
23 software ([[http://renard.github.com/o-blog/features.html][features]], [[https://github.com/renard/o-blog][Github source]]).
25 - [[http://jekyllrb.com/][Jekyll]] :: a simple, blog aware, static site generator. There are
26 instructions for combining Org-mode with jekyll at [[file:org-tutorials/org-jekyll.org][Org-Jekyll]].
28 - [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html][Projects]] :: In most cases using [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html][Org-mode publishing projects]] with
29 its many options should be sufficient for publishing a blog.
31 - [[file:blorgit.org][Blorgit]] :: publish an interactive website based on Org-mode
32 documents. While blorgit has many nice features including the
33 fact that Org-mode documents can be edited through the web
34 interface with automatic commits to a git or svn repository
35 however it is fairly complicated to set up. Blorgit is one or
36 two small changes from being a full-fledged Org-mode based
37 wiki. This is no longer maintained, see org-ehtml in
38 the wiki section below.
40 - [[https://github.com/punchagan/blog-files][blog-files]] :: A simple system based on ideas and code from org-jekyll and
41 reprise.py to publish a blog using simple static html
42 pages. Used for publishing [[http://punchagan.muse-amuse.in/][this blog]] py Puneeth Chaganti.
44 - [[https://github.com/punchagan/org2blog][org2blog]] :: allows publishing directly from Org-mode to WordPress
46 - [[http://jaderholm.com/blog/blogging-with-org-mode-and-octopress][Org-mode and Octopress]] :: Instructions for blogging With Org-mode and
47 Octopress. There is also this [[https://github.com/craftkiller/orgmode-octopress][dedicated exporter]] by Tom Alexander
48 (instructions [[http://blog.paphus.com/blog/2012/08/01/introducing-octopress-blogging-for-org-mode/][here]].)
50 - [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Blorg][Blorg]] :: the original Org-mode blogging engine (but it's not maintained
51 anymore). Roland Kaufmann is maintaining a fork [[https://github.com/RolKau/blorg][here]].
53 - [[http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/45360][a blog-like sitemap for org-publish]] :: see [[http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/45360][this post]] by Jon Anders
56 - [[http://plugins.getnikola.com/#orgmode][Org-mode and Nikola]] :: A plugin for [[http://getnikola.com][Nikola]] (a static site generator
57 in Python), that lets you write your posts in org-mode syntax.
59 - [[https://github.com/kelvinh/org-page][org-page]] :: A static blog-site generator, written in elisp. Very
60 light weight. Integrated with git. Supports
61 themeing. Uses [[http://mustache.github.io/][mustache]] for templating. Highly
62 customizable. Key difference from o-blog is that
63 org-page posts are in *separate* org-files. Built-in
64 support for disqus, google-analytics and RSS.
68 - [[http://ikiwiki.info/][ikiwiki]] is a web site compiler written in Perl. In many ways it is
69 similar to Jekyll, but has closer integration with version control
70 systems. It supports blogging and has many plugins.
72 There is an org mode plugin by [[http://www.golden-gryphon.com/blog/manoj/blog/2008/06/08/Using_org-mode_with_Ikiwiki/][Manoj]], which lets you write your posts in
73 org and converts them to html suitable for processing by ikiwiki.
75 There is [[https://github.com/chrismgray/ikiwiki-org-plugin][another plugin]] by Chris Gray that interprets org files. It
76 is still under intermittent development, but is stable enough for
79 - [[https://github.com/eschulte/org-ehtml][Org-ehtml]] defines an editable HTML backend for the new exporting
80 engine. Org-ehtml runs on an [[https://github.com/eschulte/emacs-web-server][Emacs web server]]. Exported Org-mode
81 web pages may be edited through a web browser, the edits may then be
82 saved to Org-mode files on the computer running the server, and may
83 even be committed to a version control system (experimental)
84 providing wiki functionality. There is also experimental support
85 for password authentication. Also see the [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/58773][initial announcement
86 email on the Org-mode mailing list]].
90 - [[file:org-tutorials/org-ruby.org][org-ruby]] is a Ruby gem for converting org-mode files to HTML. The goal is
91 to make it easier to use org-mode files in website tools like [[http://webby.rubyforge.org/][Webby]],
92 [[http://jekyllrb.com/][Jekyll]], or [[http://webgen.rubyforge.org/][webgen]].
