I'll try.

Yes.

I see no mention of "~bzg/org" in worg-about.  I think my lack of
experience for many years is showing -- I didn't think to click on the
~bzg/worg link which would've told me about ~bzg/org.  I assumed the
link was just telling me what to put on 'git clone'.  Perhaps that
should be explained a little more in worg-about.

What I did was go to sr.ht to see what it looked like and maybe sign up
for an account.  I followed the "More Projects" link and searched for
"~bzg/worg", but nothing came up.  However, searching for "org" did
bring up "~bzg/org".  Being out of practice, I was confused.

And I'm beginning to warm to WORG's approach.  I used FosWiki a long
time ago which is different.

These each look interesting.

Hmm. That sounds most interesting becuase it command line driven.
Perhaps a new mailing list should be created for this?
