[TYPO3-dev] Extension documentation in ReST format

Of course I noticed that. I wonder however how far we could push the 
repurposing of ReST files. I'm also curious for my suite of extensions 
called "Tesseract", which is about a dozen extensions all in all. If I 
moved the documentation to ReST I would like to find a way to use it 
also on the dedicated web site in a way that's more integrated.

But - as you say - time is lacking for such experiments. Anyway we need 
to finalize the usage of ReST is extensions first.

ReST *will* be supported officially eventually. That's really what we 
aim for. I hope we can achieve that during the first semester of 2013, 
because it's really the next logical step, but I would not date pledge a 
date.

Cheers
