Some open issues/questions:
1) I think we need a syntax for escaping a block of text. I'd propose using {{{whatever here}}} (same as creole and confluence). We could do it with a macro but I don't know how we could implement it easily...
Still not sure. Most said they liked the {{{ }}} notation. Right now I've implemented the {{nowiki}} macro. Do we still want/need this at the wiki syntax level?
I think we do since it'll easier to type than {{nowiki}}. I'll create an issue in wikimodel to add it since we were all in agreement. See http://code.google.com/p/wikimodel/issues/detail?id=38
I guess I'll just remove the nowiki macro when it's done.

4) Tables: do we keep the table macro or do we want a wiki syntax for tables.
Also need more input.
My take is that we should go with a macro since this allows us to have more options like filterable/sortable/pageable/etc than a wiki syntax.
I was wrong. I've talked to Mikhail from wikimodel and what he's done for the wikimodel common syntax is to allow parameters for tables in the following manner: * Parameters at the table level: {{tableParam=value ...}} || column 1 || column 2 cell 1 | cell 2 * Parameters at the column level: || {{columnParam=value ...}} column 1 || column 2 cell 1 | cell 2 * Parameters at the line level: || column 1 || column 2 {{lineParam=value ...}} | Cell 1 | Cell 2 * Parameters at the cell level: || column 1 || column 2 {{cellParam=value...}} cell 1 | cell 2 He says it's easy to do the same for the XWiki Parser in wikimodel. Of course we'll need to change the parameter delimiter since {{ }} are already used for macros for the xwiki syntax. But we could use something like %% I guess. So I'm now more in favor of having a wiki syntax for tables instead of a macro. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
