That reminds me ... I provided a Python script that converts your
spreadsheet (saved in CSV format) to Wiki markup, but you felt that the
90 degree rotation of the content (that fit our previous test cases in
the Wiki) was too long ...  regardless, the same Python script could
have been changed (by me or one of your developers) to maintain the
rotation, and so the conversion should not have been tedious or time
consuming.  Please let me know before you commence such processes; I'd
prefer testing rather than such processes.

Yes, I think they should be in plain text, with no table structure.

I don't think PDFs are valuable, because I can't see how collaboration
can occur.  Nobody else can contribute.  When they see a mistake, they
can't fix it.
