The places you can go with reStructuredText - am I missing any? (I haven't checked these all for viability)
- HTML, XML, pseudo-XML, LaTeX, and S5 (PowerPoint-like presentations), with the conversion utilities in docutils
- rst2a - reStructuredText 2 Anything - docutils conversion utilities, online
- rst2pdf
- rest2web - webpages with templates, navigation structure, etc.
- rst2man - Unix man pages
- Sphinx - easy, multi-page sites for docs or other static content
- epydoc - Automated API documentation
- nabu - ReStructured Text to RDBMS
- rst2odt - Produce files for OpenOffice Writer.
- wiki pages
- Blog clients
- django-rstify - ReStructuredText in Django templates
- Editor support
- rst2word - this would really be the holy grail, for communicating to the unwashed masses. (We in the know can use rst2odt and convert within OpenOffice, but rst2word would get my boss on board.)
- Fuse more templating engines to rst (perhaps not a good idea, violate the readability principle?)
- ReST lexer for Scintilla - this would allow ReST support in WingIDE, too.

Hmm, would rst2rtf be enough to get rst2word's benefits? Converting to/from Word is asking for 99% of the pain for a dubious gain. Have seen too many other people (smarter than me) attempt conversions to/from Word. It was days of trial-and-error solutions that apply only to specific versions of Word and even then would break in non-obviously-obscure cases.
I completely get the desire to have such a conversion... :)
rst2rtf might be a more achievable option thatn rst2word and would still be quite usable in Word.
