I know all three types have their pros and cons.  The main con that I
see with using a wiki page is that the MoinMoin wiki doesn't support
discussion pages like one of the wiki platforms.  But I think we can
work out a system to use wiki pages for solely discussion.

Okay, from that, I can see why you prefer using wiki pages instead of
the other two ways.  Because of sub-sections, right?

I agree here, I feel like we need to create a standard system for this.
