Awesome! Scott, can we discuss details next week? I'd like to determine what meta data we need in the wiki to make the conversion a seamless experience. For example, I suggest that we come up with a set of styles to use, things like table layout, etc. Many things can be achieved in mediawiki through templates. Is started to draft a page here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Wiki_Editing_Policy I am currently putting the Administration Guide to wiki form and will move it to the wiki pretty soon, this will be a good test case for processes and tools.
