I mean, tbh, I *do* kinda hate the current doc process, no offence to
anyone. Wikitext is definitely quirky in some ways, but just for
writing up basic docs, I found the wiki a *lot* easier and more
friendly than the current doc setup :( I do understand why we're trying
to get away from the wiki, but I don't think the change has made things
better for people trying to *write* docs.
