This is not inherently different from people having to learn what MediaWiki classes and so on do. If it's a well-designed language, it will be as easy for people to pick up as alternative ways of writing the same info. The first step absolutely must be to look at what other open-source products in our situation are doing, though. If we can take the entire system wholesale from phpBB, say, then there's no reason for us to reinvent the wheel. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
