Hey Yuvi,<br>
i agree that having comments in JSON would be wonderful, but for now i<br>
think it's better to stick to a well-known standard instead of either<br>
using non-standardized JSON or a format that less people are familiair<br>
with.<br>
<br>
And obviously, it would be awesome if the list would be so good that<br>
we could replace <a href="http://tools.wmflabs.org" target="_blank">tools.wmflabs.org</a>.<br>
