Re: [Chicken-hackers] single egg documentation format

[Ivan Raikov]

  Alex Shinn has contributed some code to parse wiki content, and I have
modified it to parse svnwiki syntax and placed in the Chicken SVN
repository (in directory release/4/wiki-parse). Peter Bex and I will
work on a suitable replacement for stream-wiki, which will most likely
be an SXML-based system. Others are also welcome to help.
