Even though I hate SF, I don't think it's a good idea to move the Wiki. All the links everywhere (including in BibDesk itself) are to SF. Also it's clearer to keep everything in the same place.
I added another request at the SF tracker and this is their reply: <quote> We are planning to upgrade to PHP5. As soon as this is complete, all project administrators of record will receive notice of the change. </quote> I do hope they're already a bit further than the planning stage, but they've been saying this for at least several months now (including this quote from september 2007: "We'll be upgrading before the end of the year.").
