MediaWiki instead of Trac Wiki?

Yeah, it's annoying.

- We should be able to update www.gnucash.org more readily; the current
situation is fairly silly.  If not machine/update access, it'd be nice
if the sources were in svn so they could be updated, patched, &c.  It'd
also be nice if, maybe, the site was regularly (auto-)updated from svn.

- I feel like we're leeching off gnomesupport.org; we could stand to
have a gnucash-specific wiki on wiki.gnucash.org.

  - We should require moderated accounts for editing; while it's not the
wiki way, spammers have more evil than we have free time. :/

- I could imagine some wiki-like system for maintaining or commenting on
the gnucash docs, but that's a ways down the road.


It sounds like the Trac-provided wiki isn't really working out, and
MediaWiki is (relateively) easy to setup, full-featured and well-known.
I say we try it out, and dereference gnomesupport.org.

We should also move much of the www.gnucash.org content into the wiki,
eventually combined with reducing the footprint of www.gnucash.org to
really-static information and/or merging the two entirely.
