I apologize in advance for throwing this long email into the mix at a
time when Carsten and everyone else is putting so much work into
fixing the existing bugs in org-publish.
But I'm writing because I've begun to create a website with org-mode
and am thrilled at org-mode's promise as a web publishing platform. So
here's a simple wish/dream list. Thanks in advance for humoring me.
1. Ability to create a sorted index of pages based on #+FILETAGS or
#+CATEGORY or something else. For my websites, I have a hard time
deciding on a hierarchy from the start, and I prefer not to use too
many directories for fear of breaking links if I change the structure
of my site. It would be nice to have an automatically generated
pagelist grouped by category. E.g., all pages with "#+CATEGORY: Emacs"
would show in the automatically generated index as:
- Emacs
- Page One
- Page Two
2. More complex than #1. Ability to generate static tag-based views of
data. If option is selected, org-export would automatically create a
special directory of individual "tag" pages, each containing all the
headlines + contents with a particular tag. E.g., if I have the tag
"orgmode" scattered throughout my files, then the tag page
"tags/orgmode.html" would concatenate all my headings + content with
the tag "orgmode." (Blorg.el already does something like this.) This
could be helpful for collaborative projects. E.g., Paul could review
a page of all items tagged "Paul".
3. Automatically generated backlinks.
4. Automatically generated most page creation date and recent changes
list.
(5. And finally, in my wildest and most implausible dreams, web/wiki
software that uses org-mode files as a back end for storing data and
that dynamically generates views of that data---by tag, deadline,
date, properties, etc. I know that the wonderful Worg already is a
wiki of sorts, but it would be absolutely incredible if org-mode files
could be edited interactively via a web browser, cell phone, etc....
Dream on, I suppose.)
Thanks for letting me brainstorm/dream. Lacking knowledge of emacs
lisp, I'm sorry I can't do more to try out these ideas.

Hi Matt,

I use org-info.js for this.
E.g., in 'Page one':
#+LINK_UP: Emacs.html
#+LINK_HOME: /index.html

If `org-publish-use-timestamps-flag' is `t' (and only then), org-publish
is aware of recent changed Org _files_ (as oposed to _lines_). I doubt
this is of any value though, since 'recent changes' are so
subjective. I.e. recent changes change so fast that way (e.g. fixing a
typo here, a typo there).

This dream is coming up so often :-)
...and it will be implemented one day.

Thanks for your wonderful org-info.js. Yes, I use this feature with
org-info.js, and it's quite nice.
By backlinks, I had in mind a feature found on many wikis -- the
ability to create a list of all internal links that link to a
particular page.
