Announce: Markdown (extended) specifications
Dear all, I'm quite a newcomer to both the markdown-discuss mailing-list and the Markdown W3C Community Group. So first of all let me make a brief introduction: I am a french PHP developer and I work (from a long time now) on a Markdown parser that you can find at http://github.com/piwi/markdown-extended (this is not the subject of this email). ***I want here to announce that I'm working on writing specifications for a version of the syntax that I called Markdown Extended (to differentiate it from the classic one).*** I know some of you are against the idea of such specifications for various reasons ... I won't here try to convince you all about their usefulness, but I would appreciate to have your feedback and comments about this work before publishing it officially. Those who are fundamentally against such specifications may notice that I tried to clearly separate the Extended syntax of the original. Let's consider that the Markdown Extended syntax has its specifications where classic Markdown doesn't. ***You can read the draft of this work at http://aboutmde.org/ which is actually in ´alpha´ version. Please feel free to make some returns via this email or the bug tickets of the original repository (it is hosted on GitHub at http://github.com/markdown-extended/manifest).*** I want to thank in advance all those of you who might take a little time to read this work and give me a comeback. Moreover, any contribution is welcome.

Re: Announce: Markdown (extended) specifications
Hello Jakub, I didn't know this project (I agree with you: there are already too many MD projects ...). I will look at CommonMark in details to see if I may help on this or propose something like a merge of both CommonMark and MarkdownExtended or anything else. By the way, is there a place where all known MD projects are listed ? Thank you for the info. Regards, P.

It’s _de facto_ standardized Markdown with very precise [specification](http://spec.commonmark.org). If you wanna extend Markdown syntax, then I highly recommend to start on top of this spec. No one needs yet another incompatible and ambiguous Markdown dialect, there are too many of them already.

Re: Announce: Markdown (extended) specifications
Here is another list of Markdown implementations: https://github.com/markdown/markdown.github.com/wiki/Implementations While both lists contain many of the same items, there are a few unique to each list.
