We're getting ready to migrate the current wiki from the kwiki platform
to mediawiki.  We haven't set a date for this transition, but we'd like
to do it fairly soon.

We've done a preliminary test export of our current wiki into the
mediawiki engine and the formatting/links/etc. are almost completely
wrecked.  It looks like it will take some volunteers to help us clean
up the new wiki before we can "go live" with it.

If you are interested in giving us a hand, please let me know and I
will coordinate getting appropriate access for you, as well as provide
you with the URL.  The work will start sometime next week and we'll go
live with it as soon as we have the major issues sorted out and a
decent version ready for the public.

Once we start the editing process, the current wiki will be locked for
edits so that we don't have a version control issue.  Contributions
will be accepted, but you'll have to do them in the new wiki.

Also, if anyone has experience in moving Kwiki to MediaWiki, we'd be
eternally grateful for any advice you might have.  The current export
tool left behind bad formatting, broken links, and a general mess so
any direction on preventing or reducing that would be much
appreciated.
