Sounds interesting, and probably less work - and that's always good.
:-) But I'm concerned about walking into another situation down the
road where we need to relocate the wiki once again. When we used the
shared wiki at SF, that was a good idea at the time .. until they
stopped offering it. Could the same happen with a GitLab-hosted wiki?

If the wiki is hosted on a website we control, I think we'll be less
likely to run into these problems down the road. And we'll have better
control over branding, for example.
