Yes, and that sounds like an advantage for people like Quim, whose job is to create structures for other people to use. What I'm saying, as someone who is living with our current totally imperfect system of documenting software and projects on a day-to-day basis, is that I don't see what the advantages are, and that a redesign and a migration needs to take in to account everyone's needs more, not just roles like Quim's and the new contributors he is admirably working to attract. The best way to approach a project like this is not to propose an up-front migration of an entire wiki to a new piece of software, just to prototype a few new features.
