Re: Is this project dead?

We could document the different markdown dialects in a chart, and use that
as a basis for the test suite? Would that be useful or make sense? If
everybody added the dialects they use regularly, it wouldn't be much of a
task at all. I imagine that would be a useful resource in itself.

What I mean is a table with columns for all the markdown dialects (from the
list of implementations wiki page:
http://www.w3.org/community/markdown/wiki/MarkdownImplementations), and
rows for all features.

After that we could start arguing which features belong to the canonic
implementation. =)

This is just an idea to do something concrete. Apologies if this is
redundant from the W3C perspective and/or already done somewhere....

Cheers,
Heikki
