... and others can see this thread in the mailing list and follow suit.
Or they can use the info doc (section 1.1, "Summary") to find the org
website and follow the link to Worg. Or they can ask on the list. And
once they know how to get there, there will be no need for another
documentation blob to land on *everybody's* disk. Besides, if they can't
find it in one of those ways, what makes you think that they will be able
to find it even if it is on their disk?

Just in case it's not clear already :-) I personally don't think it's
worth it (but I am a marginal voice at best.) What might be worth it is
adding a sentence or two in the Summary section of the orgmode manual,
pointing out Worg's existence: if you don't know about it, it's impossible
to find, but once you know, the problem becomes trivial.
