[Nix-dev] [RFC] Generating documentation from nixpkgs (markdown files) with pandoc (Was: Real documentation, aka "Let's kill the wiki")

[Domen Kožar]

After the discussion at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/1960 I've
lost hope to reach a consensus.

I'll maintain Python related documentation in restructured text separately
from nixpkgs manual since the docbook tooling we have is a real disaster.

I hope that doesn't discourage others to try :)
