Yes, it's far more extensible.

Can we please keep the cross-posting down? This thread, mostly about the 
specifics of a wiki which most of the GNUstep devs likely don't care too 
much about, should be kept on -webmasters, not on -dev. The devs who 
care about this stuff are either aleready subscribed to the correct list 
or should be. I don't like getting messages twice, and I doubt anyone 
else does either.

Adrian, have you been drafted for-sure to do the wiki content conversion?

Cheers,
