Not entirely helpful though. The python script looks uninspiring and
no-one seems to have written a suitable Wiki Processor yet.

I guess the main options are:

  1. Leave the wiki where it is. Would moving it benefit us?

  2. See how far you get with the script.

  3. Group effort to cut & paste and convert.

None of those strike me as clearly the best. Mediawiki's pretty good but
we get a lot of spam trouble and it doesn't seem to be well maintained,
so that could be a good reason to move.

I don't think the history's all that important for the wiki. It's still
pretty new anyway, so there's not much of it.

Cheers,

Martin.
