I don't know what that _means_.

The bright side of moinmoin was it stores its data in flat text files
(so I wouldn't be administering a database), and it's implemented in
python 2 (a language I more or less know).

That's pretty much what I expect out of a wiki, yes. But other
people seem to like them, so...

We can have a local copy of the git repo and just mirror it to
github as a distribution site.

Exactly. (Linus doesn't pull from github. Policy, he doesn't trust it.)

I don't know what that's supposed to look like, but am happy to
go along with somebody who does. :)

I'm all for it. I'm trying to scale the project up, it's just hard when
I'm supplying most of that content (doing writeups myself after learning
from the rest of the team) on top of everything else I should be doing.

I note that musl-libc.org has a wiki:

  http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/Main_Page

But it's not immediately obvious to me what wiki that is, and on the
last page I looked at (http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/Porting) the first
link was from 2011, the second from 2012...
