I'm using org-mode. How do I collaborate with other people who are not using Emacs?
It seems like the standard for document collaboration is Google Drive/Google Docs. This is fine, but my preferred environment is Emacs org-mode. Short of cutting the full text, editing it in Emacs, and then pasting it when I'm done, is there a way to share edits and updates back and forth with people who are not using Emacs?

Org Mode offers the ability to insert source code in the document being edited, which is automatically exported and/or executed when exporting the document; the result(s) produced by this code can be automatically fetched back in the resulting output.
vim is a minimal Org mode and Outline mode plugin for Vim providing only syntax highlighting and folding. This plugin aims to replicate Vim's existing Markdown editing experience on Org mode (and Outline mode) files, rather than trying to be a full featured Org mode plugin—that is what Emacs is for.
To enable Org mode on your current document, type M-x org-mode which will enable the Org mode on the current document. Those are minuses, not underscores. MY PROJECT is the title of the document, this can be anything. This will enable Org mode for this document, no matter what the file-ending is.
Org mode is routinely used to build and manage complex workflows. It does this using an elegantly simple syntax that scales from basic markup to full LaTeX typesetting and from plain text notes to literate programs. Everything you need to get started is demonstrated in the example.
I've read a great story of people collaborating on a book on github: Homotopy Type Theory.
The repository is here.
This was two dozen mathematicians working simultaneously for half a year on a 600 page book. I thought it was pretty cool.
