We already have spread our website over enough different places. There is macports.org, trac.macports.org and guide.macports.org (and the upcoming MPWA at db.macports.org). It is already hard enough to find the relevant information one is looking for. If we now add yet another new site, this will become even worse. I don't see what a MediaWiki would offer that a Trac Wiki does not. Okay, Trac Wiki has some caveats (like it does not do automatic merging when editing simultaneously). But I don't see a major benefit from switching to MediaWiki. We already opened up the wiki access to anyone who registers, so I think that's collaborative enough.
