I would take a fairly broad view of the term "for Python" though. Specifically, third party modules and applications written for and in Python should be explicitly supported. I think we'd like to see one (preferred) documentation tool chain for core Python, plus the vast number of third party modules and apps. I don't see any reason why Georg's reST-based system couldn't provide that (80/20 rule perhaps?). I'd point to for example the howto templates, which can be easily used for third party applications. Mailman uses howtos for example. BTW, Georg excellent work. I'm a big latex fan and long-time user, but I do think that using reST will open the door to a lot more contributions. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRlHzJXEjvBPtnXfVAQLNXQP/QUuZ2gc/DpoidI9jYt7mr66Z+JYHsslv fe4CvFSjd9OxwA3eOynd9dSOSkO6QHQPDVomW8axEkJJSHWNosnr9gmDZcC75nAD JTt4rGImqwkcVIAzE91pZ3fmce/ltp9p1Ru3B1dDRmXbNgHxZ9njaz60MPFszC/H 19jSBo5sqSU= =hlhi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
