Did anything come of the web-editable pyblosxom project?  That would be 
nicer in a dogfood sense.

In principle, I agree with taking load off you.  I defer to your choice on 
this matter, and whatever we switch to that's more participatory, it'll be 
an improvement.

That said, I'd like to place a firm vote against MoinMoin.  MediaWiki is 
faster, more widely-used, just as widely-used in Free Software projects 
(pick a random GNOME project like TomBoy or Beagle or F-Spot, its site is 
probably in MW).  People know the syntax.  Plus its anti-spam features are 
great (just use recaptcha.net's plugin).  (It's just a vote, though, and I 
don't even know if my vote counts.)
