[TYPO3-dev] Documentation migration to reStructured Text and extension authors

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi,

I started the rewrite of one of my extension so personally I don't care
at all if my documentation can be converted or not, knowing me, I'm
pretty sure I would write it again anyway :)

The big question I guess everyone is asking himself is/are (actually I
think of more than a single one:

- How should I store my reST documentation to be rendered on TER
- Can I finally remove manual.sxw from my doc/ directory
- Should I store a PDF together for people downloading my extension?
Could it be used as-this by typo3.org instead of regenerating it (if
ever) and will the EM link to it?

and finally:

I want to start writing my documentation with reST, what can I do to
help the documentation team to have reST being the official and working
new documentation format with the whole chain (or nearly) by end of May?

Cheers
Xavier

PS: Of course I know the answers but writing in the name of many of the
non-documentation-team community members (I hope)
