What I like about org-publish is that it is general, and really
focusses on the essentials of just the publishing process, without
intermingling these issues with the formatting issues. I believe you
could publish muse files and bhdl files with org-publish, by just
calling the appropriate functions or if necessary write a trivial
wrapper around them. Maybe you could also publish Org-mode files with
Muse, I am not sure.
I myself don't see Org-mode primarily as a publishing tool at all. The
motivation for writing Org-mode was twofold:
- to get to a handle on the many things I need to do
- to collect all ideas that I had for writing plain text notes
in Emacs into a single mode. For me, Org-mode is vastly more
convenient to use that any other text mode I know of.
David's org-publish gave me a one-key way to get these files on a
webpage, something I use mostly internally to share notes with
collaborators. Importantly, I can let it take care of also updating
any additional files like source code that might have changed and need
updating. That is exactly what I need.
About future development: I really like how basic and straight
org-publish is. No need to create another monster. Maybe add a few
more general publishing-functions (right now there are only two:
org-to-html, and a plain copy for attachments) to save some users from
writing their own. But the basic setup looks fine and complete to me.

Hi,
I was looking on emacswiki searching for publish engines for Emacs.
Actually, I have found at least three of them:
1. muse
2. emacs-wiki
3. bhl
Adding org-publish to this list, we got 4 engines that do merely the
same thing except for org-publish which offers less features. So what
is the current goal for org-publish exactly ? Is there any possiblity
that org-publish be incorporated into something bigger and more
insteresting for us as end users. are there any plans for orc-publish
if at all ?
I know David is quite busy with all his projects but I would like to
know if it is worth I learn org-publish in depth or switch to
something else. So David, what are your plans ? :)
Regards
