I created a couple of new pages and I plan to document everything I
learn so I would like to see the wiki stay.

I like the namespace feature and I would like to use it.  However to be
really useful it would be necessary to rename some of the existing pages
and that does not appear to be possible.  However, I noticed that
docuwiki seems to have quite frequent releases so it might be possible
to get the ability to rename pages added -- also to get a bug with the
namespaces fixed.

I was very impressed by dokuwiki.  The developers have a link to a wiki
comparison site which I found quite useful to compare features.

There are better python wikis than trac.  In particular moin-moin is
quite close to the present docu-wiki.

Moin-moin versus trac:
http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/MoinMoin+TracWiki

Trac is missing a lot.

Moin-moin versus docu-wiki versus twiki
http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/MoinMoin+DokuWiki+TWiki

I notice that Twiki has namespaces but Moin-moin does not ... otherwise
all three of these are comparable.

I guess I would vote for Twiki if we were changing.
