* The developers of Phabricator, the web front-end on dev.gnupg.org
have not implemented renderers for Markdown, Org-Mode or any other
common markdown like language.
* They also refuse to do so.
* Instead they re-invented the wheel and implemented their own version
of Markdown-like thing which is incompatible with everything else.
It is called Remarkup.
* The developers of Phabricator and Remarkup have refused to provide
conversion tools to move files to/from any format to/from Remarkup.
* They expect everyone to learn their new favourite pet project.
* Remarkup may or may not display Org Mode files, but if so then it is
likely to only want to do so as plain text.
* There is an unaffiliated and unofficial project to convert Github
Markdown to Remarkup via Pandoc. This might be adapted for our use,
but requires testing.
* Until then exporting from Org Mode to UTF-8 text is likely the least
worst plan.
* Which means renaming this file to README.org first.
* Removed Markdown style heading underlining.
* Removed in-line file type declaration (which is not correctly parsed
by the web interface on dev.gnupg.org).
This follows weeks of discussion on the gnupg-devel mailing list.
Hopefully it will make it easier for people using Python to use GnuPG
in the future.
