This is good news. Eric, what do you say to setting up a fresh Gitit
wiki with this content today/ASAP? People can convert the
moinmoin-markedup-articles to Markdown/RST (did we decide which we
wanted our wiki to default to?) as they please (on a case-by-base
basis); and a public darcs repo lets people pull and experiment with
scripts to do the conversion en masse.

(Admittedly, if people are pulling and hacking, then presumably
someone later doing 'darcs obliterate' on pairs of spam-unspam patches
will mess up their patches. But I don't think that's terribly
important.)

More importantly, we can close down the MoinMoin wiki before any more
valuable effort gets spent on it. This reduces uncertainty and
tentativeness.
