It's about time someone gave this a bash - though to some extent this covers the same ground a Pandoc. However, some of the technological choices seem... unwise if the aim is a lively community project. Version control for instance - whatever technical advantages Darcs may have are heavily outweighed by it's much smaller user base (having to learn a new VCS just to contribute to a project is a massive pain!)
