Paul explained this fine; it's just a test/sandbox environment.  We are
definitely leaving fedora.redhat.com behind. :)

This is the way the Documentation Project is going to use Wiki + CMS.
However, I fully expect the rest of the project to use the Wiki as a
primary location for project-specific documentation, e.g. Packaging/,
SELinux/, Extras/, etc.

However, once we build the tools to easily publish to Plone, we'll see
if some folks want to use that. :)

What you see in this Moin Moin instance, ver. 1.5.6, is the code
*before* the Google Summer of Code fixes this year.  It actually works
well for most cases, but has some bugs and unsupported syntax.  The code
that was worked on over this GSoC fixed the bugs and did a number of
syntax mappings that we devised.  So, for example, the markup in
WikiEditing#Marking_Technical_Terms is rendered in to the XML that we
expect it to.

We are working with the same FI/Websites team to get upgraded to 1.6
when it is released, as well as working on getting the GSoC code into
that main trunk.  In the meantime, the Render as DocBook in 1.5.6 works
good enough for us to use for one-time conversions out of the Wiki, etc.
