I've just finished an automated conversion from wiki to Texinfo (using Python) and I found out that the end result still needs further manual editing: wiki tags tend to be applied in a very non-uniform (and in minor cases, sloppy) manner while Texinfo forces writer to apply the right tag. in the long run, wiki->texi conversion loses a lot more semantic information than the other way around, so much so that wiki != quality reference.
*But* I agree, that the main focus should be ease of contribution. -- Adhi ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?
