I agree that the existing wiki is pretty hard to follow and find
useful information.  It might actually be helpful to coordinate a
'docathon' first and do a clean up of the existing data before making
a decision about any further wiki changes (e.g., migrating to a
different platform).

While many of the various CMS's are configurable, and can be made to
do just about everything,
I personally like the out-of-the-box look and feel of MediaWiki.  It's
defaults 'make sense'.

I'd not suggest that.

Nor would I suggest that.
