Use of googleforms would be a bonus. I've had great success with this: https://github.com/nuex/zodiac. It's on the list you mentioned. You can build whatever you want on top of it because it's so simple and hackable. > Also, on source language: although being asciidoc present in OpenBSD, > markdown seems at the moment the "industry standard".

You can build it out-of-the-box on OpenBSD (i.e. no GNUisms). > Thanks > Have fun!
