Well, I think the question of whether or not it gets more reviewers is independent of the final destination format. The wiki-vs-docbook question is complex. DocBook is great for generating output for readers, but it also imposes a lot of overhead on translators. The fact that some translators "defected" and used a wiki instead just proves this :-). I don't blame them for doing it. There is a real tool problem here; they shouldn't have had to make that choice, but unfortunately, there was no good technical solution available (although we could easily imagine what one might look like). Let me think about the right way to present it from the front page... if I can think of a good way, I'll link to it; if not, we can just wait until it's transferred back into XML.
