That's awesome, thanks!

There is some great info there - I'll take an account if you'll give
me one - I'd sure be willing to document stuff as I discover it (or as
I get explanations on the mailing list), so if you'll give me an
account, I'll use it as much as time permits.

As far as replacing the main site with it, we looked at doing that for
another project that I work on (Apache iBATIS), but the main site
didn't change much, and it never really 'felt' quite right - we ended
up using StaticMesh to generate the main site instead, then adding a
link to the wiki for more dynamic content.

As far as the look goes, I don't really have a strong opinion - if it
looks like mediawiki, I think more people will recognize it as a wiki,
and be able to sort of shift their mind set to adjust to it. Right
now, the layout looks sort of like a blog.

PS: In an earlier email today, I talked about not being able to find
another one similar to mine - in the 27 minutes since I got this
email, I have typed this reply, and found a reasonable match for my
phone using the info on the wiki. There are some great resources
there! :D
