I'm happy to say we certainly share the same vision about the impact Asciidoctor can have.
I'd disagree, however, that few writers know about AsciiDoc. That may be true in some circles, as is the case with any tech adoption, but the overall adoption is extremely strong. I was just at Devoxx and just about everyone I ran into is using it in some way. It's used at Red Hat, Couchbase, Elastic, Vaadin, MuleSoft, Neo4j, Fedora, SUSE, and the list goes on and on. I think the adoption curve is right where we can manage it.
Of course, we shouldn't rest on our laurels...and we won't. We have big plans moving forward, and Antora is a key part of it. Instead of just thinking about the processor, or as an add-on to a site generator like Jekyll, we're tackling the whole documentation site publishing enchilada.
I certainly agree the barrier to adoption can be lowered. That's a perennial goal for any technology stack. Lower, lower, lower. But it also helps to have great advocates like yourself spreading the word. Most of the adoption of AsciiDoc (in the Asciidoctor era at least) can be traced back to someone advocating for it. And I am extremely grateful to those people.
Cheers!
