Ok, no problem Michel. I thought I would take a crack at trying to
mediate the issue, and didn't want to just leave you hanging out
alone. Yet, I can respect what you are saying here.

I'll defer to the direction you choose, Michel. P2P found is your and
James's creation, and I'll respect what you want to do with it.

I can think of maybe one more technical solution, which is that a
wysiwyg editor might be used, which will hide code, yet make it
available for those who prefer code. You can still use markup inline
while editing, I believe. Not saying this is the solution to the
current problem at hand. But, could be worth thinking about for the
future. http://wikieducator.org uses it to try and bridge the gap
between people who code with markup, and people who manage content
without much markup (it gives a view of the content that removes the
markup while editing, usually). Just an idea.
