The Sweble Wikitext Parser Offer to the Wikipedia Community

Our offer to the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikipedia (technical) community is this: Come up with a new and better Wikitext and use the Sweble Wikitext parser to convert old Wikipedia content to that new format. Naturally, the new Wikitext format should work well with visual editors etc. We have spent more than one year full-time working on a parser that can handle the complexities of current Wikitext and it does not make sense to us to create another one. You only need one bridge away from the place you don’t want to be any longer (the current “old” Wikitext) to get to a new and happier place.
