(also managed to sneak in some reST propaganda)

I doubt that there is a need for reST if we have a nice WYSIWYG editor. Why would one care to learn yet another syntax? Maybe it's faster to enter text this way, but it's very difficult to create a decent design and there is a break between "viewing" and "editing" a text. This makes it harder for others to edit your page and it's harder to navigate a page, in general. Also, if the editor has, for example, key combinations then there is no need for learning reST, at all. Power-users can learn key combinations and the others can just click on nice icons.

I've moved some items (including reST) to the "To Consider" section. I hope you don't mind. reST probably only means more work for no gain, IMHO, and I thought that Charlie made it clear that this is not the way we want to go...maybe it's just too fashionable. ;)

Bye,
Waldemar
