I agree that for the longer term, and to ensure some continuity in case people withdraw from Jallib (for whatever reason) it is good to organize our (derived) reference material in a commonly used format. I'm afraid I've no experience with YAML or JSON, and I didn't find any Rexx interfaces for it. But I noticed that Firefox has its bookmark backup in JSON format, and a quick search on Internet showed me that it is not a complicated format. So maybe a better search may show something more, or maybe I can find someone to port a Linux implementation....
