Board Reports and Wiki Markup
Reminder: please do not use any wiki markup, other than the = Project =
seperator. That is the only wiki markup preserved -- unless I miss some --
when we send the report to the Board, which has always requested that all
wiki markup be removed. So putting any into your report only makes busy
work for me. :-)
Mentors, please do me a favor, and if you see wiki markup in your report(s)
when you are signing off on them, remove it. :-)
Yes, putting in bulleted lists is fine; it looks normal in a plain text
report.

Though numbered lists need to be:
1.
2.
3.
Not the wiki-like:
1.
1.
1.
:)
I'd also note that the "questions" that many have in the template are there as a guide for writing relevant sentences, not necessarily for retaining in the report in Q&A format.
Cheers,
Brett

I took the liberty of surrounding the relevant parts of future report
pages in a {{{ preformatted code section }}} that disables all other
wiki markup. I believe that should work even for people using a rich
text editor.

Can that be disabled without doing so for the entire wiki?

It's been there and prominent for years.
I sort of wonder if folks aren't editing the page in wysiwyg/rich view?

Perhaps a prominent notice at the top of
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/July2010 and subsequent pages would
help?

I think the target of your frustration are not listening. Perhaps a
broadcast to offending private-xyz@i.a.o is the only way...

AGAIN, A REMINDER: *DO NOT* use any wiki markup, other than the = Project =
seperator or lists.
Once again, I have had to strip out this garbage when preparing the report.

Was there something unclear about this? Which part of DO NOT USE WIKI
MARKUP was unclear? This was by far THE WORST report, from an editing
perspective, in at least a year.
