[Foundation-l] Regarding the one million dollar usability grant and already extant but unused extensions

Hoi.
One thing you CAN do is divorce the text form the templates. When you do not
need to parse the templates, you can show the text in a WYSIWYG way. You can
then either show the template in final form or with an "anchor" that refers
to the source that can be seen elsewhere.
Thanks,
