Who are the primary beneficiaries of this suggestion?: a. People with expert knowledge of development systems and people with Gentoo Privileges =20 b. End users who may not be experts, in all things development, but may be able to contribute and consume content. 2. What compromises in flexibility does this create? Eg: Do suggested replacements have capacity to have arbitrary HTML and templating? Or are they restricted to the terribly narrow featureset of Markdown? If you're optimising for 1-a and your choice of compromise results in a reduction in functionality with regards to clear, flexible, and expressive content, it will be hard to sell me on the idea. --Sig_/jgZmnU1zaSwIuV14PumxhFL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEPZazbI/qrFT1o9rn6FQySxNmqCAFAls8dZ4ACgkQ6FQySxNm qCBFRQ/+IfWptrChtuJdqOgDi4A2DkH53ZyV+fFhjsHttHyDAzEpvGoc+L/TECqy Bea3tlbTSUFbe1atsOCzIWWSqr1Xp09hxL9vXD2e7Kr9Z4S/nvsJAM4c9OGbLaiS 9ygJu/Op1m5gN+pP32NK97JQoiVi/oJsrERaX9xNOCTd/Kg7qKXVMHi54GmWZ3fg Hphok3tRKhcvhZZaCAAd7smHd4kaU33G0fkKOubvwe3cReDvol+tqfnf5ta53F4f HWM6ODLTefL8vPJoHpnZp3piYltn4dqFW7q5tH/t+A76syAMmw0Xh7stbFbg8nTY zNE7KIwD8t6BPp+32vZ/wCJlbt5io0V380AzFsEoHwZuU8rvvlxzJE3uzSdikSTd XjV6KLYT0ZmCcV5HqJmZKGIFcoFvQ99O3Xl4+9wHYoQ8BEQTHTlAKUBE5n4/T/8W npCxDvDJgrhmCbbfZPGBqZek+6CMtgSaQOtdzfsDWrzznhtJYa5lZ0XH/W++PEu1 f4oOatFIM0sDOuDgV9Vd8GZAF5aNSROClT0Dw0F9YEyYViQBmL6L9LHeMF7tJI8B s2b5Ukh38zPAHFwKxiPA9JsHv/g89S4Xah/sS0gEyiT348a8Ugymi3P4q42OZrFD t9MuvKO2TLis4Zrgcmc5GXh9IsEVGSrOMFJizn/aSgfMYz98Mis= =JjQ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/jgZmnU1zaSwIuV14PumxhFL--
