[Jobs] Need some help with Python Job Board

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Hi Justin,

the default markup is currently set to restructuredtext:

https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/blob/master/jobs/models.py

but this can be changed to any of these supported ones:

https://github.com/jamesturk/django-markupfield

as long as we make sure that all existing records continue
to be set to ReST (to not mess up the formatting).

Since I had a look at WYSIWYG editors, some new ones may have
surfaced.

The templates are defined here:

https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/tree/master/templates/jobs

and the main project page has instructions on how to get
a local copy of the website working:

https://pythondotorg.readthedocs.io/

Thanks,
