Bhaskar,


please read the mailing list archive entries of the last few days for
more details on the conversion project.  If you still have questions,
please write again to the mailing list.  Otherwise, I'm awaiting your
proposal :-)

BTW, it's not clear to me how `Beautiful Soup' will help to convert
HTML documentation to markdown, which is a one-time job.  It seems to
me that pandoc would be a better choice for this because it's a
ready-to-run program, not a library...
