As I said, I have tested this with docstor, that don't know and don't want to know about syntax, nad don't have time. And the result was perfect ... The best thing is that no one needed a course about "how to write the docs", they just write and post to the site.

I don't buy it - Instead of allowing the use of descriptive formatting delimiters such as =head and =item, you replace them with shorthand symbols. The use of shorthand cryptic symbols does nothing to make POD more usable to non-programmers - If anything, this makes it less accessible to non-programmers as there needs to be an association made, which may not always be obvious, between the symbol and it's context and meaning.

If you really wanted to create a tool for non-programmers to create POD, why not create a word processor which allows for a WYSIWYG interface whilst outputting validate POD. Instead, all that you have done is create a cryptic shorthand to replace formatting directives which are already self-explanatory and straightforward.

A better name for this module might be POD::Shorthand or POD::Cryptic, but certainly not anything which suggests that this format is "easy" compared to POD.
