To be honest, I'd prefer to stick with Moin's format ;) Textile or Markdown may be an option, but really, it's a small learning curve to use Moin's syntax anyway -- and at least it's widely used, familiar to many, works well in the wiki environment, and easy to write simple text paragraphs in. Moving to another syntax may seem like a great idea, if the syntax is acclaimed as more understandable etc., but for most people, that simply translates to learning YA syntax. (PS: I came up with EtText a good while before Textile or Markdown, and you'll note I'm not suggesting we use that. *That's* how much I think we shouldn't further fragment the syntax space ;) - --j.
