Wikitext templates + HTML layouts.Lua modules. Kinda confused here. From what I get, content staff (or strategy, whatever you call them) uses mainly the strange markdown that is wikitext. Dev staff however has to create tools for the content guys to let them focus on what is their job : creating content. Two questions here :

Do those tools include other things than templates ? I can't think of anything else, and they shouldn't need much work once the main ones are build, do they ?What are the dev skills needed in the end ? I get the Wikitext/HTML part for layout and maybe Lua for the dynamic content part. Are they others, like stated in the main post ? In what part are they involved ? As a substitute for Lua  ? Didn't intend to dive too much in the community, but I'm looking forward to playing around with your stuff, and maybe I'll end up doing something usefull afterall.
