Ikiwiki and Manoj Srivastava's plugin do look great, but it's a pity
not to take advantage of org-mode's facilities for exporting and
publishing... which I've already set up and adapted to the design of
my webs.  My question was more on the lines of whether there's active
development of the org-mode blog modules, and if there's people using
them.  I am considering building a very minimalistic blog engine (tag
the entries you want as part of the blog, and it builds an RSS feed
for them; you figure out everything else within org-mode's publishing
functionality).  But I'd hate to do something that's already there.
