s/a bunch of tedious man-hours/extra time/

The kind of content we're working on isn't going to take that much
time to convert.  This said as someone who *has* spent so many hours
at such conversion that I can be said to be nearly proficient. ;-)

But, yeah, as you know, the bigger risk is scaring people away who
aren't nearly as proficient.  Just the idea of touching HTML is scary
to some of the very people we want to draw to write on Fedora Insight.
Let's make sure we advertize that i) the wyiswyg editor will be in
place ASAP as a top priority following launch, and ii) there are
people such as me who are willing to do foo-to-HTML for other people
so they don't run away at the site of <markup>. :)

- Karsten, who has heard "And you have to write in HTML!" as an
  epithet in non-technical business teams.  Ironically, also in
  technical teams, but for different reasons ...
