When Phill says "we will be using Mallard", the referent of the pronoun "we" is unclear. I think Phill means "the official Ubuntu documentation team". Not the Lubuntu Wiki team. Not the (yet to be formed) group of people who may be working on an Lubuntu-specific version or equivalent of http://ubuntu-manual.org. > AND ... is it a MUST that we follow that plan? can we still use the > same Wiki Format? ... Relax. The wiki is not going to stop using existing (Moinmoin) wiki formatting. The needs of a document formatting system for online informal documentation (such as a wiki) are *different* from those of a more formal offline documentation approach (such as a printed manual). The discussion item in vUDS is for *offline* documentation (a manual, or a set of manuals). No- one (as far as I know) is suggesting replacing the Ubuntu wiki with some new and different technology for online documentation that needs different markup. Let's keep the different kinds of documentation needs clear in our minds.
