Markdown certainly allows bare links, although I suppose depending on the rendering engine they might or might not be clickable - which isn't really that important in our case IMO. For an example of what Whimsy tooling already supports for free (outputting either text or markdown from plaintext source data): https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/orgchart/ (try vp-brand or secretary) I agree the first step is figuring out how the IPMC can improve their process and the end result of the report, since that's the biggest userbase to make changes with. Then we can focus on what would be easy - and pretty - for the board to consume.
