Is this the GSOC project which implemented creole?

Pier seems to
be pretty much what I need out of 'out of the box', excepting the points I made
above. However, I'm curious why 'Pier Syntax' was developed instead of using
an already popular markup like Textile? Are there any plans to use other markups besides
'Pier Syntax' ? I haven't looked at the code yet, but if there are no plans
for any other Markup, how hard do you think it would be to implement a different markup
besides Pier Syntax for a professional programmer that knows some Smalltalk, say like, oh,
I don't know, Textile? :)
The Pier Syntax dates back to SmallWiki (2002) and SWiki (even much
older). I don't think there was Textile at that time.
Pier theoretically supports different parsers. Currently you need to
patch 2 methods to make a different one work, not nice but that could
be improved. I have an working but unfinished parser for Creole lying
around already for years.
Cheers,
