So, is the argument here, “People can’t learn things”? Or, “asking people to learn things they don’t already know is an unreasonable expectation for contributors to documentation on a technical project”?
I’m honestly not clear on what the goal is here, but the impression I’m getting is, “We want the project documentation to be WYSIWYG-editable by anyone who’s ever seen Microsoft Word.” Accurate? Because, if that is the proposed expectation, please allow me to register my vigorous dissent.
