Starting by ack'ing that there's a shift in the MkDocs community right now; everything Kattni will be talking about will remain applicable.
Now: What is rst?
#PyConUS
Markdown has been around for over a decade, and has wide support and adoption across platforms and ecosystems.
It's well-known as a format, and is now a viable alternative for rich tech docs
Markdown's biggest issue tends to be the disagreements around what the "standard" flavor of Markdown is. Gruber has refused to release a standard, creating a wide collection of competing flavors.
That said, there's still a rough consensus.
Now for the #BeeWare migration.
@beeware is a suite of tools to let you write cross-platform GUI applications entirely in python.
@kattni started by tackling documentation isses, and @freakboy3742 lamented the current state of reST.
Kattni saw an opportunity for improvement.
