I think its safe to say we that the solr wiki is not nearly as

writing docs' thing, I find writing things in MoinMoin disappointing
and even less fun then it needs to be. For all the work you put
into it, it never really looks good.

I know it is a bit severe to suggest switching wikis, but I'll throw
it out there and see how you all feel about it.
If we did decide to switch, importing should not be too hard:

Another cool thing about the Confluence wiki is a plugin that takes
wiki snapshots for each release. I remember some concern with
apache licensing issues.... wicket does it, so maybe its ok

Just b/c Wicket is doing it, doesn't make it right. :-)
I've noticed the way Struts handles this, is they allow comments/
changes to be placed on to the Wiki, and then they are "committed" to
the Wiki by the committers. I don't recall if they require a
specific license grant like we do in JIRA. So, I am not sure if this
correct either. Might be worth asking on legal again.
