Hmm, are we moving a little too fast on moving to Confluence? Like someone said earlier, we've already switched wiki's once, and I don't know (beyond wiki -> xdoc) what benefits Confluence has over Wikis. It may even be easier to update the tool (wiki->xdoc) to understand the wiki we have now, rather than transferring the entire site over to a different wiki system, with yet another syntax... Just my $0.02. -Matt Kurjanowicz
