Well, I didn't really start any section, I more or less just grabbed that
section because I'm a Linux user - but I was just looking for a place to
start seeing if I could translate things and preserve the old formatting
as well (IOW, I was looking to do it in a way that would facilitate
exporting back to the povdoc format, like you laid out above).
In retrospect, maybe the better way to approach that would've been
through a Mediawiki plugin that understood the povdoc format. I'm no php
programming whiz, though - that would definitely have taken some time to
develop. :-)
Without getting into the gory details, I'm hoping by March that things
will have settled down at work and I can pick up on some of the povdoc
stuff and wiki stuff then.
Jim
