So about the conversion, I wonder if we can start to generate the Sphinx version of the docs on buildbot sometime soon, and perhaps host them alongside the current docs, as the first step in phasing out the current version? How automated is the conversion process now? Are errors reported such that people could start looking at them and fixing the issues? It seems like you've done almost all of the hard work, and the rest is dealing with some edge cases in lore or restructured text, and that might be more easily spread out amongst more people.
