Versioning or Roadmap?

[dbready]

First of all - love this. A principled, light-weight markup unsaddled by baggage, and designed by someone with the chops to appreciate the nuances of every decision.

I was wondering how stable you considered the current implementation. How far is this from a 1.0 release? What would it take for this to become fully integrated into Pandoc? Do you hope for this to eventually replace Pandoc Markdown?

The current version is definitely "alpha." I want to get more feedback and think about things some more before saying it's stable in any way.

If djot starts getting used by people, we could integrate it into pandoc. It would take Haskell implementations of the parser and writer (or we could cheat and just load the Lua). Full integration can wait, though, because we already have bidirectional conversion with pandoc, via djot-reader.lua and djot-writer.lua.

In any case pandoc would continue to support pandoc markdown.

I really enjoy DJOt. So I hope others will take it and use it. I already prefer Djot over Pandoc's Markdown, when reading and writing, so I hope this project will continue. If I can't contribute with code, how can a more regular user help?

You can help by using it, letting others know about it, and reporting any rough edges.
