[Jython-dev] Jython's wiki and docutils

[Frank W. <fwi...@gm...>]

I just found out that our wiki accepts docutils ReST style markup in
addition to the default moin style wiki markup.  All you do is put:

#format rst

at the top.

Since the website is written in ReST, this would significantly lower
the barrier to moving content from the wiki to the website.  I like
the idea of having the website be official, maintained information
that can be considered definitive -- and having the wiki as a place
for new documentation to get generated.

If we decide to go this route, we would need to put a big message on
the front page, and make sure that "markup help" links point to ReST
docs and not to moin sytle wiki docs.  Also it would be nice if the
new document template (I assume there is one, I don't know moin
internals well) would put the format statement at the top with a
message not to change it...

What do others think?
