Hey Daniel, Thanks! Quick notes:
1) Yes, please file a ticket about this and refer to it in Phabricator when you make revisions. For this issue, I'd suggest just having one ticket, and every single commit references that one ticket. Adding a bunch of tickets just makes it all harder. 2) You can just add 'austin' and 'hvr' as reviewers. 3) You'll need to do some prodding with the build system: we need 'asciidoc' to be picked up by ./configure, etc. If you need help with this, just holler. I like the idea of one file at a time. If we can get by with that, I think we should. Thanks for helping!
