Given that pywikibot is heavily designed around using wikitext , and all existing 'add
notice to talk page' in scripts is using wikitext, I think this project has a higher
chance of avoiding bikeshedding and -2's in code review if it focuses on implementing
(only) wikitext support first.
We know what property and methods look like for wikitext, and how they should behave in
corner cases. Also script writers are mostly going to prefer to interact with wikitext,
as that is what they are most comfortable with. We need to make their transition from
Discussion wikitext pages to 'Flow things' as simple as possible.
The design should still emcompass html support, and should put an implementation for it up
for review. Semantics around two different/alternative content formats is going to be one
of the interesting problems to solve.

Maybe, if we don't drop Parsoid support. However, I don't consider this a hard
requirement for the summer GSOC.
Is there a phab task about dropping Parsoid support?
