Moin, and I'm not sure it's so mad. Moin is more popular (among wiki users) than ReST and in many cases it is closer to the syntax of other wikis than ReST. There are some things I like better about its syntax too. Headers are much nicer to read and write in moin, for example. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
