In order to have support from the community there have to be some easy 
tools. OpenOffice.org was available for almost all platforms and with a 
template it was fairly easy to create documentation.
Although reST documents can be created with any text editor it is not 
very easy to check if they are correct or laid out like the author wants.

Just lik Pootle can be a big step forward for more and better 
translations just because it so very easy to use, there need to be easy 
and user friendly tools for reST.
I personally expect a lot of different documentation formats in 
extensions without these tools. Or we'll end up with "documentation" 
containing 'see manual.pdf in the doc directory'...
