I wasn't aware of this, and it's definitely a problem.  Here's what I
propose we do:

1. Finalize a tip formatting standard.
2. Use the best available script that supports this standard.
3. Update the best available script if necessary.
4. Revise the standard if necessary.
5. Convert a tips sample.
6. Review the sample and revise the script if necessary.

Once we're done with all of that, we can revisit the question of which
wiki we'll use and then convert all of the tips.

Since this project is lagging, let's also use the following standards:

1. Let's use this mailing list to coordinate the project.  All comments
regarding wiki page format, however, should be written to the "talk"
section of the affected wiki page.  If you're unsure as to where to post
your comment, then just post it to this mailing list.
2. Let's set a deadline for "signing off" of the wiki formatting
standard of 5/21.
2. Let's set a deadline for determining the best conversion script of
standard of 6/4.

This is just a start, and I'm open to all opinions/criticism.  I just
want to give this project a shot in the arm so that we can resurrect one
of the best features of the Vim editor.

What do yo guys think?
