I think I've suggested this before, but shouldn't we first try to fix Moin rather than spend time wondering if we can convert all the data to Mediawiki? We have a lot of talented Python people in this project, it shouldn't be impossible to do. I do have some of my own interests here, my Summer Code Finland 2007 project [1] for Fedora was based on Moin, and if Fedora ditched Moin that would seriously threaten the future of that code. There was also a Fedora GSoC project on Moin last year, so even though none of this code is yet merged upstream, a lot of work has been done on Moin by Fedora people. I don't want to step on anyone's toes here, I do understand the situation and I see that it causes a lot of trouble for us. I'm just trying to offer some pro-Moin points here as well.
