Hi, The #1 problem for many people with the current MDN wiki was that it didn't offer mediawiki-compatible markup editing. It would be great to be able to use right away one's familiarity with mediawiki markup (which is what most people know), and of course being able to copy and paste contents to/from mediawikis would be a huge benefit of that. Will the new wiki system offer that? Sorry, I hadn't heard of Kuma and a google search for Kuma Wiki didn't return useful results.
