As I said in my other post, MediaWiki and MoinMoin should, in my
opinion, be on our shortlist to consider.

Thanks, that would certainly be helpful.

That's an interesting idea, which we should consider.

Good suggestion. I think we would want to accommodate both
user-contributed documentation and developer needs. For example,
recently the need arose to have a wiki page for GSoC ideas.
Projects may want to use it as well. I find myself using the wiki
at gitorious.org (where we also host our overlay) for purposes of
the Qt herd. It would also be handy for developing new documentation
(it would have helped for the LXDE guide, or the Qt4 ebuild
development howto) as well as keeping existing documentation up to
date. GuideXML documents are often experienced as an unnecessary
barrier.
What else do we want it for and how would that impact organization?
