Just to be clear: this would mean that everything under lp:ubuntu-docs would be converted to github-markdown, right? Would that include other Ubuntu flavors? (disclaimer: I'm not involved in the Ubuntu Docs team, so what I'm saying might be wrong or not true anymore) IIRC, some parts of the Ubuntu documentation are shared with/based on GNOME documentation; if ubuntu-docs were to switch to a Markdown-based syntax as the primary choice for writing documentation, I think it might get hard to contribute back or be able to use the work done by GNOME. So, would this [xml|mallard]→Markdown conversion be final, or would it still be possible to work with [xml|mallard] and convert it to Markdown when necessary?

Is there already a markdown-2-po extractor? Personally I've never seen one, but I also haven't looked for one.
