Just want to mention that it is written in Haskell, so chances are that it 
is even harder to install than asciidoc (I am thinking about non-Linux, 
of course).

Note also that Markdown cannot create TOCs automatically, AFAICT.  So 
probably it would be not all that easy to convert the User Manual to that 
format.

If at all, I would have preferred a format switch to Wiki syntax so that 
we can use the same source on the Git wiki as in our Documentation/ 
directory.  But such a switch could only come after a consensus of the 
Community anyway.

Ciao,
Dscho
