As it stands, it's a trivially simple documentation format that can easily be converted to any other sufficiently general markup format, so long as said markup format doesn't impose any requirements for things like heading structures. Would you like three lines of bash to convert news items into a PDF? :) There's nothing in this GLEP that precludes using the news files in other locations. Being able to do so is even listed in the requirements part. It wouldn't surprise me if someone just happened to come up with, say, a forums auto-poster or a Gentoo news XML auto-conversion tool... If there's anything in the GLEP that makes doing so harder than should be necessary, please let me know because I'd consider that to be a problem needing attention... -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Anti-XML, anti-newbie conspiracy) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
