Who has the keys to the wiki server? I can set up MediaWiki in a few hours, less if it's running Debian. I totally agree with switching the wiki. The current software is a piece of shit.

There isn't enough man-hours going into stuff like this and we can't expect toad to do everything by himself. It would be nice if there were more people stepping up to put some effort into organising the project infrastructure. I know it's a bit hypocritical of me to say this since I've contributed fuck-all in the past few months, but if anyone has some time... help would be nice... X
