Depending on what features are added, exactly, I'd imagine a lighter-weight markup language would be more than sufficient. Something where you can describe the syntax in less than a page and write a correct implementation in half an hour or less would probably be good enough. Like maybe just newline-delimited key=value pairs, or something like JSON at worst. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
