Just wanted to say that we're using EtText at the Open Source
Development Lab.  We're pretty impressed with it, thanks!

Are there plans in place for what will be going into the next release?
We noticed in the mailing list archive mention of several patches, and
we ourselves have noticed some areas in the documentation that could use
updating.

Additionally, I'm considering developing a tool similar to EtText which
would generate Template-Toolkit instructions instead of HTML directly.
For example, instead of rendering

Header
------

as

<a name="Header" id="Header"><h1>Header</h1></a>

it'd render it as

[% header_1('Header') %]

in the output.

The purpose of this would be to allow us to use EtText as input, but be
able to represent the content elements in whatever look and feel "skin"
we desire.

Anyway, has this been done already by anyone?  If not, would there be
interest in including this capability as a feature within EtText (i.e.,
could I simply send in a patch)?
