If you move to use the Wiki on codehaus, you take data away from the common
place where everyone in the ASF can search for things, and cross-link
between projects.
Searching perhaps... but linking no. You can interwiki to anything.
If there is an issue with UseModWiki, it can be replaced. All it takes is
someone willing to do it. Steven Noels did the Cocoon wiki, which is being
moved onto an ASF machine. If there is someone who wants to help move the
ASF Wiki onto a different Wiki system, that is something worth discussing.
UseModWiki is not very friendly or easy to look at. MoinMoin is much better for producing readable wiki pages IMO. Codehaus already had it setup so I just started using it. If someone at Apache wants to set it up that would be fine... but I am starting to get the impression that things do not change very quickly so it is easier to use Codehaus for now. If MoinMoin gets setup on an Apache machine somewhere it should be trivial to move the wiki data.
I guess I am also a little weary about maintenance and additions to make the wiki more functional. Right now I have more or less direct control over the wiki, so am free to add java syntax highlighters, translators or whatever.
But as always just my opinion ;-)
