[Wikitech-l] Define and Formalize wiki markup

[Dirk Riehle]

I realize you are talking about MediaWiki markup 
only, but I would like to encourage to also watch 
what other wiki engines are doing. Wiki engine 
implementers will come together at

WikiSym 2006 (www.wikisym.org/ws2006)

and I expect a standardized wiki markup to be an 
important topic (I hope we will have workshop on 
it). In any case, if you proceed with this work, 
I would like to encourage you to keep the wiki 
standards mailing list informed, see

http://www.wikisym.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/

We have plenty of engine implementers there fighting related problems.

Dirk
