I'd really like to know where you go (documentation, Internet) when you 
are searching for information like this? If you want to know whether a 
certain toolchain is supported in SCons, either in the core or as 
external Tool, what do you lookup first?

I'm asking this because our ToolsIndex on the Wiki lists a reST Tool, 
and when searching for "scons asciidoc" I get a hit immediately.

Can we improve our documentation and our website in a way that would 
make these informations easier to find for you? If yes, please make 
concrete suggestions for this.

@Russel: Just out of curiosity, what's this thing with "monospaced vs 
proportional" fonts in reSt exactly about? Can you give some pointers to 
a description of the problem? I'm genuinely interested because I intend 
to use reST a lot in the future and might even try to promote it at my 
working place.


Best regards,

Dirk
