As it stands, it's a trivially simple documentation format that can |
| 9 |
easily be converted to any other sufficiently general markup format, so |
| 10 |
long as said markup format doesn't impose any requirements for things |
| 11 |
like heading structures. Would you like three lines of bash to convert |
| 12 |
news items into a PDF? :) |

There's nothing in this GLEP that precludes using the news files in |
| 15 |
other locations. Being able to do so is even listed in the requirements |
| 16 |
part. It wouldn't surprise me if someone just happened to come up with, |
| 17 |
say, a forums auto-poster or a Gentoo news XML auto-conversion tool... |
| 18 |
If there's anything in the GLEP that makes doing so harder than should |
| 19 |
be necessary, please let me know because I'd consider that to be a |
| 20 |
problem needing attention... |
