I think that part of the problem is that worg has now grown so big (a 
good thing), it's quite hard to find things just by browsing. The front 
page is basically just a big list. Once you have browsed around for a 
while, it's very easy to get lost.

Eric's idea of a sidebar showing where you are and making it easier to 
get somewhere else is a good idea.

Maybe we are reaching the limits of what can be achieved using 
org-publish alone and should consider some other tool as well, such as 
jekyll? This would need to be done in a way that still allowed easy user 
contributions and an automated build process.
