Officially moving to MediaWiki?

[David Nadlinger]

The topic has been discussed extensively a short while ago, so 
I'll keep this short:

As you will probably remember, Vladimir Panteleev has kindly 
agreed to set up a MediaWiki instance, meant to replace the 
current D wiki at prowiki.org. It is reachable at 
http://dwiki.kimsufi.thecybershadow.net/Main_Page, and several 
people have actively been adding content to it already (thanks a 
lot!).

In my opinion, it is already much more inviting than the old 
wiki. The next logical step would be to officially adopt it as 
the D wiki, i.e. make wiki.dlang.org point to it and change the 
links on dlang.org accordingly.

So, the question is, what is stopping us from doing that right 
now? Is there anything important missing? [1]

At this point, the MediaWiki instance still has slightly less 
content, but I think this will quickly change once it has 
received the official blessing. Besides that, it will probably be 
a good idea to keep around the old one as an archive anyway, at 
least for a short while.
