I looked at that one, but it does not look convenient for me.

That one looks interesting, but, afaict, still does not solve problem of
offline writing + using (some) standard markup,right?

That's new for me, but still, I only need ability to use standardized markup
for writing using my preferred (Emacs) editor.

Well, my personal site is small and not problematic at all, for my business
needs I have to create a new one and Tiki looks good, but my old content for
non-profit site is *still* in Textpattern CMS, so despite of exploring Tiki few
years ago, I haven't migrate to anything else.

I agree with that and that's why I did eliminate Grav from my equation.

In another email you wrote:

and the above URL references https://github.com/sculpin/sculpin which says:
"Sculpin takes plain old text files (Markdown, Textile, etc.) and combines them
with Twig templates to produce a set of static HTML files that can be easily
deployed to almost any hosting platform."

so if you can assure me there is possibility to write e.g.
(CommonMark|Extra) Markdown markup and use one's preferred editor
(Emacs, ST3, Vim,...) and create blog posts and/or articles (not so
important for other content, although it would be cool to use same
markup for everything) for Tiki, then I'm sold and, yes, I'll try to
contribute as much as I can (even learning some PHP) with full-fledged
enthusiasm. ;)

Btw, I'm also seriously considering to try and/or use WikiSuite - looks
terrific without too much admin overhead, no need to have nextCloud just for
calendars/contacts etc.
