Can you help on making the above page more useful to anyone?

Perhaps we can have a separate worg page just for parsers, reporting
the ones that seem to fully work.

I disagree that a parser is too difficult to maintain because Org is 
a moving target.  Org core syntax is not moving anymore, a parser can
reasonably target it.  That's what is done with the Ruby parser, in
use in this small project called github.com :)

So I'd say:

- let's enhance Worg's documentation
- yes, please go for enhancing parsing tools

I don't think we need official tools.  The official Org parser exists,
it is Org itself.

Thanks,
