I generally agree with you that wiki markup is terrible and that a text editor and a git repo is The Right Way to do things (with Jekyll or whatever to push it to the web). But in my experience, crappy and easy is a better way to get people to contribute. When I've taken wiki documents and moved them into git repos, more often than not I become the sole contributor, and otherwise-technical people just start emailing me their contributions (which decrease greatly in frequency). Will it be possible to build the GLEP rst files locally, and view the output exactly as it would appear on the website? I ask because, so long as you don't want to be able to preview the result, you can already write MediaWiki markup into a text file locally. The offline "live preview" ability is the killer feature of RST as I see it.
