Well, you might if it were functional. And please, this "FooWiki isn't a 
wiki because it's impure" stuff sounds alarmingly like what religious 
zealots say about religions besides their own (sunnis with shiites, 
shiites with sunnis, muslims with jews, jews with muslims, christians 
with muslims, muslims with christians, etc etc. There is no "True Wiki") 
I don't mean to start another flamewar, but you don't seem to be very 
objective about this sort of thing.

Seriously, have you ever considered that you'd most likely be able to 
use the wiki once we switch over to MediaWiki? Frankly, phpwiki sucks, 
and there's no respectable documentation for it. It's also very limiting.

Just my deflated $0.02,
