Hmmm. You can of course run python2.1 install for docutils.

Meaning that there should be one .rst file which contains the template
for the pegboard: the explanations etc, and into that the program would
add the table.

The primary order is the status; actually we can have separate tables
for each status so there's no need for the colors right away.
After that, last-updated might be good.
