   I believe this is great. I have one comment (really one wish) to make. It would be absolutely fantastic to see some screencasts of HNers in action. In particular, how you get the skeleton of a project up and running. I, for one, would pay f

    I use reStructuredText as it seems fairly complete in terms on functionality and yet very simple to read as plain text. However, unless we talk about well-established systems such as TeX and LaTeX, I fear about long-term availability and su
