Thanks to the support of Hannes, the first couple of readme's are now reST'ed over on php.net. Actually this also includes a new readme which is essentially a port of the release process wiki page. Anyways to get things to work I had to modify my initial script a bit. After a chat with Hannes we figured out how the script should work. Essentially we have one script that does the rendering based on a list of files that is hardcoded, which results in some happy HTML'ed files. These then get served up by yet another script with all the nice navigation stuff, including user notes around them. Hannes took care of all of that. Simple enough. Anyone who wants to help out feel free to just port a readme to reST (note that our reST parser has some limitations atm, so better look at the current ported files for inspiration).
