+
+OrgVM is, so far, a very simple nodejs wrapper, invoking Emacs in
+batch mode. I'll talk about how I use it to make project notes
+available on demand to my colleagues and how it works, especially the
+generation of elisp from javascript/JSON.

+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Why not build upon Nic Ferrier's elnode web server written in
+ Elisp?  As Nic describes it: "Elnode is a non-blocking IO webserver
+ written entirely in EmacsLisp. It's like an EmacsLisp version of
+ node.js."  Your implementation will likely get much simpler if you
+ keep it all in Lisp.
+ - A: I chose to build with node.js because that was easy for me;
+ but an Emacs based version sounds awesome!
+- Q: Is this using org-info-js? 
+ - A: nope; I need to learn more about this - seems very exciting
+ and like it could influence this project
+- Q: Why did you make yet another web server?
+ - I read it was to make your org files portable.
+ - He's auto-generating .html files to match his org files in the background so that he can browse them via web browser right?
+- Q: How is that portable. You still need a web browser. Org files need the very basic..... cat
+- Q: Have you heard about https://codeberg.org/gopiandcode/emacs-viewer, by any chance?
