I set up a Mediawiki at wikinetsurf.zamez.org in the last few weeks as a trial (talked to some of you on IRC about this). It works well and I think it has the features we want (i.e. users, history, watches). I've copied some of the pages from the old wiki to it but haven't had time to do it all. > 1. Reliability > 2.

It gets backed up daily. As for 1 & 2 it's hosted at linode and they have been generally good. James
