Do You know of that feature? They can generally import pages from other wiki engines, and convert to their own syntax. I think that's what you are referring to? If so, here is one example tool: http://foswiki.org/Extensions/MediaWikiToFoswikiContrib > I think changing the wiki machine later on if this comes up to be useful > will not be that big deal.

All of these are good points. The case for MediaWiki is solid--I just feel that we might be able to do even better. :) In fact, based on a comment by Bernhard in another thread, I'm now thinking about the merits of combining the main website with the wiki into one system managed by a CMS. This would be more friendly to end users--and could be managed by a sophisticated system like Drupal. I'm imagining the potential of its ad hoc group creation tools for managing regional LibreOffice projects, marketing, events, etc, along the lines of this site: http://groups.drupal.org/ (I'm sorry to have hijacked this thread--will continue on the website mailing list for those who'd like to follow along.) -Ben Benjamin Horst bho...@mac.com 646-464-2314 (Eastern) www.solidoffice.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
