I don't wanna start a huge discussion about which tool to use and I highly appreciate your input :). Let me throw in my 50 cents anyway. Dave, as you know I did some work with Hugo in the Swirl project. My blog on the other hand is now created with jekyll. I have to admit, that jekyll is way easier to use and is also based on git ( https://github.com/andywenk/andywenk.github.io). So my conclusion is that hugo is great for usage as a documentation tool and jekyll fits better for a blog. On the other hand, the software on blog.couchdb.org is already a WP.

When using pandoc in the way Dave proposed, it is maybe a good idea to rethink WP but I have to admit that I don't know with what format one can feed WP for content. Maybe also Markdown? > A+ > Dave > > [1]: http://hugo.spf13.com/ > [2]: http://octopress.org/ > [3]: http://jekyllrb.com/ Cheers Andy -- Andy Wenk Hamburg - Germany RockIt!
