Like I said, there are wiki packages out there like gollum, ikiwiki, and probably others which would allow editing of content via text files and use vcs's for version control of the changes, so I'm not advocating for shutting down the wiki. I think we should have one that is more accessible to users who want to use different interfaces.

If that is converted from markdown, all you would have to do is use the markdown directly if the new wiki supports it. >=20 > Btw: Would a conversion to another wiki mean that we get another long > footer on every wikipage "This page was edited by... do not remove..."? I have no idea about that, but that alone shouldn't stop this from happening. > For the special case of the Gentoo Manual: > I think the Gentoo Manual is better maintained in a git repository, > because it was initially written like a book and sometimes it is better > to make PRs for the manual. I don't really see the manual as a special case. We should use the same interface for everything.
