Both the wiki and the homepages look much nicer than the lucene/solr ones. More professional too, FWIW.

Obviously the main issue here is manpower to convert everything. An easier solution might be to install a MoinMoin theme. see http:// moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ThemeMarket for many bad and some good examples (Balanced, used by ubuntu, seems reasonable).

I think its safe to say we that the solr wiki is not nearly as complete as it could/should be. I've added a ton of stuff to 1.3 that needs some
documentation.  Beyond the normal, 'I dislike 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

Another crazy suggestion from ryan?
Maybe I should sleep on it?
thoughts?
