Yes. I'll second Alan on this. It was my idea to setup the wiki, and I spent
a LOT of time on it for a year or so, but have unfortunately not seen as much
input from the community as we will have liked. (Although there are a notable
few people who have done some work at various times... You know who your
are..Thanks.)
If there is only going to be a small group of people editing the docs, git
and RST work much better than a wiki, and save maintaing both mediawiki and
an SQL server :-)
