Jordan, Well perhaps if we set up a moin moin PDF exporting plugin, this could turn into a nice setup that still won't lose the advantages of doing it in docbook format.
Something like this: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ActionMarket/PdfAction Alternatively, if you are worried about malicious activity, maybe an authentication system to make sure you are part of the appropriate launchpad group to be allowed to modify things? All MOTUs would automatically be added to the group, and then you need to request access otherwise.
