Sorry to pick nits here, but I do not think my suggestion is 'replacing'
anything since we have not, as a group, adopted anything. I do not like
the word Moodled as it hold no meaning other than that which you gave
it. People joining this project would potentially be confused by its
use.

Does it mater if it is a replacement if it works better? I think
declining to examine something because if is a refinement is not a good
path. The potential adoption of asciidoc is a 'refinement' of our
process as well... and yet we are moving in that direction.

(note: I could not find the meeting logs in which asciidoc was
officially adopted by the project -- so we may need to take that step at
the next meeting)

[snip stuff on sections]

I was talking about a course page -- not the section page. A course
would be built in Moodle and in-person formats using a source of
asciidoc if I am understanding the process correctly... so there still
needs to be a process for reviewing and publishing the course; right?
