Have you seen the new Sphinx-based docs? I think they're a huge improvement over both the wiki and the book drafts. Personally, I think it would make a lot of sense to invest more time in those, rather than moving wiki content around. We could port wiki content that's missing from the docs to reST so it gets included in every CouchDB release (where it's easily accessible through Futon). I think the biggest problem with the wiki is that wikis require a lot of what I tend to think of as "gardening" to make them easy to navigate. I don't think MoinMoin is the larger problem here (though I tend to agree that it's pretty unattractive). If we want to go one step further with reST, it would even be possible to have similar handling for the blog. I use Pelican for my personal blog and it uses reST as well. We could have a directory "blog" in the tree somewhere where people can collaborate on blog entries which subsequently get published to the interwebz. Cheers, Dirkjan
