You might look at Elnode ( https://github.com/nicferrier/elnode ), which
is a node.js-like asynchronous web server for Elisp-based web apps, and
org-ehtml ( https://github.com/eschulte/org-ehtml ) which is an
elnode web app for displaying org files in an editable format.  Perhaps
this could be built-upon to create a visually attractive "writer's shed"
that even offered some collaborative editing features.  One's
copy-editor or co-writer needn't even know that Emacs lay behind it all.
