Migrating to Org2Blog

WordPress is a powerful and satisfying writing and publishing platform. After learning Org-Mode, I wanted to use Org-Mode for writing and WordPress for publishing. Org2Blog makes that easy.

WordPress easily exports your posts to XML. Org2Blog-Importers converts them to Org-Mode via Pandoc. Tonight I converted them here. Any future modifications belong in these documents with publishing to WordPress.

I tested both publishing new posts and modifying and re-publishing old posts and both worked correctly.

It seems like with a bit of extra (scriptable?) work you could remove both
disadvantages.
Why can't you use method (a) above, and then DOCX -> Org via pandoc (with
--accept-all option)?
I know pandoc introduce some of its own changes to the Org syntax but not the
document itself. You can get around this. You can remove the pandoc-generated
changes automagically so that only co-author changes appear in Org format,
which you can then use with your (b) above and emacs ediff.
Original: Your Org source
A: Org -> DOCX for co-authors (using pandoc)
B: Org -> DOCX -> Org (using pandoc).
C: A -> Org (using pandoc and --accept-all-changes)
D: B-Original
The difference between B and Original are pandoc-introduced changes that you do
not want. Ignore/remove these changes from C, call it D and then the difference
between D and the Original are your co-author comments. Now your authors can
edit DOCX with Track Changes and you can work on those edits with Emacs ediff.
  -k.
