I'm afraid having more than one formatting may be really problematic for 
contributions (e.g. the goal of a Wiki).
Moreover, what if somebody wants to add something unsupported by reST in 
a reST page?
Hum, that's problematic :D

Maybe we could just give all this a try and see what happens. If we see 
there is a real problem, it'd be tedious to convert back to something 
else but it's totally doable (and helped by a script should be quite 
fast... programmers or not :D).

Not sure, but I have no better idea (apart sticking with DokuWiki 
syntax, but I also understand the point of using the same thing that we 
generally use with Geany)...
