[TYPO3-english] Bye-bye OpenOffice, welcome ReST

[Christian Platt]

Hi Dimitry,

when looking forward to 6.x i also had a look for editing those documentation files.

Just check out https://notex.ch there is an online editor for those files...

it looks as if this is an python based service, where you can edit and download files.
