I like the idea, but am just turning over in my mind whether this is
something that is suitable for OpenWeek, or maybe a separate session
some other time. Mallard isn't currently part of our tools and may not
be something appropriate for potential new contributors to the team.
I'm wondering whether introducing them to two document formats might
be a bit off-putting at the stage that we are talking about. It's not
something currently necessary to contribute to the docteam so would it
be relevant?

It occurred to me that a talk on Mallard might be something more
useful for existing contributors to the docteam, so that we can think
more about whether/when to switch and can prepare for doing so if we
decide to.

I'm not totally against it but would like to explore these points a
bit further. Let me know what you think.
