moinmoin's a shortsighted choice, even if it is a popular choice :-(

ReST is better because it has a good path to docbook xml and from there 
to any format we require.

It's better to think in terms of documentation now and less of the 
actual wiki.  Entering html and other cludges should be discouraged as 
the docs become a more widereaching thing.  As the rest of the site 
(including the all important doc section) are ReST we should do our best 
to use that from the outset.
