I've toyed around with a jQuery-based web interface to this end. I
think a reasonable target would be to emulate the functions you can
reach with speed keys on the first column of a heading in Org:
folding, navigation, todo states, promoting, demoting... plus perhaps
extend them to lists and checkboxes.
I plan to post some sample code here when I've got more of those
features implemented (not for the next few weeks I'm afraid).
Yours,
Christian

A simple org-mode viewer (that allows you to do some basic
folding/unfolding and search -- or even something more complex that
would allow you to view it as a mind-map?) would be nice. It could
even be simplified with more GUI bells and whistles and still allow
one to insert data and save the file. It would not be a full
replacement for emacs, ever, but would allow other less technical
users to use it as well.
There are all kinds of advantages to this, seems to me, and of course
it partly exists in the form of Moblie Org. Org-mode is both an
interface and a specification, you could say (as well as a friendly
club). And you can work with the latter (the markup specification)
apart from the former if you have need to. A web-app for viewing and
editing org-mode files would open nice possibilities for collaboration
with the not-yet-initiated and for using your files when you are
away-from-emacs.
