PyCon 2007 - Denied
I submitted a paper to PyCon 2007 this year about my open source framework for processing LaTeX documents, plasTeX. Unfortunately, the reviewers thought that it was too specialized and esoteric. While it is fairly specialized, I don’t see it as being esoteric. Especially since the official way to write Python documentation is in LaTeX. I was hoping to increase interest in plasTeX so that it might some day replace latex2html (a Perl program) as the markup generator for Python documentation. This would eliminate installing Perl as a pre-requisite to writing documentation for Python.
I guess I’m not too worried about it at the moment. plasTeX is still very young and needs testing before it can be used in production environments. By PyCon 2008, it should be ready for action!
