Thread:Manual talk:Pre-commit checklist/Inline comments/reply

This actually relates to a comment I just made on IRC. For first-timers, it might be good to give explanations / additional info about some (most?) of the items on the list, but most developers won't need the information after that. So, I'd like to find some way of catering to both audiences. I'm currently pondering a table version (first column: short regular checklist, second column: explanations) vs. a two-list version (short regular checklist above, same checklist with explanations below). I'd like to hear ideas / preferences / alternatives.
