What will help org-ruby (and github's support of org files) is to stabilize the syntax of .org files as much as possible. We are currently working in this direction. org-ruby's main job is to convert .org files into HTML or textile files. > If I understand the project correctly, a working iOrg could be used to > support Github's rendering of .org files.

As I understand it, iOrg will convert .org files to HTML using the internal Org's HTML exporter. I don't see how github could use such a setup to produce HTML files from Org (unless github runs an Emacs batch query for exporting HTML... which seems very unlikely - and wrong by design anyway. Let's see how iOrg evolves but let's stick to the bugpile for now. If the list can specifically help about org-ruby issues, let's help! All best, > PS: And the answer is "Yes.
