To second Barry here, I remember very clearly that it was discussed and agreed to switch to reSt, I just don't remember where and when (was it at the Epic, even?). At the time I knew neither syntax well so I did not enter the discussion but to me the decision seemed to be pretty clear and unchallenged. I am *very* surprised that everybody is now so surprised at the change which to me is just the logical consequence of a decision that was made some time ago. What went wrong here? Why does nobody remember that switching from Moin to reSt was agreed upon?
