The proposed new wiki was to be a global Mac OS Forge documentation  
wiki, not a MacPorts-specific wiki. I'm still not a fan of the idea.  
Do we really want to spend the time and energy converting content  
from the MacPorts Trac wiki to a Mac OS Forge MediaWiki when we have  
more important things we could be doing?
