Hi Bryan, My 2c: If the current wiki doesn't fulfill the needs, then switching makes sense. Is converting a lot of work? Are the systems compatible or do we risk having to fix up a lot of formatting? Is it necessary to convert all current pages? Perhaps it's possible to refer to legacy pages and only add new stuff in the new format/tool.
