I generally agree with you that wiki markup is terrible and that a text |
9 |
editor and a git repo is The Right Way to do things (with Jekyll or |
10 |
whatever to push it to the web). But in my experience, crappy and easy |
11 |
is a better way to get people to contribute. When I've taken wiki |
12 |
documents and moved them into git repos, more often than not I become |
13 |
the sole contributor, and otherwise-technical people just start emailing |
14 |
me their contributions (which decrease greatly in frequency). |

Will it be possible to build the GLEP rst files locally, and view the |
17 |
output exactly as it would appear on the website? I ask because, so long |
18 |
as you don't want to be able to preview the result, you can already |
19 |
write MediaWiki markup into a text file locally. The offline "live |
20 |
preview" ability is the killer feature of RST as I see it. |
