hello,
I second the choice of gitit, if only to follow eat your own dog food 
principle. but gitit is also a really great piece of software. 

I have really no strong advice on whether or not the wiki should be part of 
Haskell.org. but whatever the choice, I will definitely support this initiative 
as much a I can : I feel sad the French community is not much more vibrant (of 
course, this particular language space is occupied by ocaml In France), and 
will try to contribute a things or two I have been working on.
