+Hi Tomi;\r
+\r
+I'm not sure how to interpret this. Are you in favour of using pandoc to\r
+produce documentation?  As you say we have more choice about source\r
+format in that case. We could even try producing all of the\r
+notmuch-emacs documentation from the common format (as opposed to just\r
+part of it). On the other hand I guess the dependency would be a problem\r
+for people using old linux distros, not to mention less common choices\r
+like *BSD and OS X.\r
+\r
+One thing I haven't tried is generating info/notmuch-emacs.texi from\r
+pod. I guess that would make sense if people felt strongly that one\r
+format for all the docs is a priority. I worry a bit about the two step\r
+pod -> texi -> info conversion process, but it's only a hunch.\r
