You register once and for all? Is there some red tape involved

Assuming I haven't misread/missed anything, the only thing that we
might
cause a change is if the specification changes - but since it
looks like
we can just link to our specification we probably wouldn't even
need to
do that.
For that, I think a formal syntax specification would be
needed. Perhaps https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html
will
do? It looks complete.
We should first read
https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html
and carefully check that it is up to date and still accurate,
then
make it more user oriented (for now it more developers
oriented.)
I see. Would there be someone well suited to check that everything
is
accurate? I wouldn't feel confident auditing the whole document by
myself.
I'm ready to work on this before the end of the year.
Marvellous!
Perhaps it could be worth putting the syntax spec under the
main
site as something like orgmode.org/syntax-spec.html.
I would not go into this direction: as you know, I'd like the
home
of orgmode.org to be just one page (index.org/html) and move
other
pages to Worg. So let's not move org-syntax.org to the website,
it is good as a worg resource.
Mmm. My thoughts on having lots on Worg haven't changed, I was
just
thinking it might seem more 'official' / better if the page were
nearer
to the site root.
I've also been considering spinning off the manual into a bit
of a
specification document (e.g. less of a guide / how-to, stripped
down
to just the bare information), so perhaps
orgmode.org/specification.html#syntax ? I'd really like some
second
opinions.
This would be too many docs to maintain.
This was partly motivated from it sometimes being annoying to just
check what forms an element can take and not finding it easy to
see in
the manual.
Yea, maintaining /another/ file doesn't seem like a good idea
though...
Is anyone willing to move forward with this registration?
In about two months, I am.
Okay, thanks! Let's work on stabilizing Org syntax and
reconsider the
registration idea then. I will also ping future maintainers on
this.
Sounds good! Thanks for being open to the idea :)
All the best,
Timothy.
