Please look at bazaar-ng's homepage or ubuntu's wiki. They use MoinMoin too, and it looks much professional than our stuff. http://bazaar-vcs.org/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ It is possible to have a good looking website based on MoinMoin. > edit, even harder to make track translations nicely, has markup even > less html-like and would require quite some work to handle the > databases which are published on www.d.o.

A wiki has also the big plus for casual translators that it has a much lower entry barrier. Instead of downloading the webpage via CVS and editing raw HTML you simply edit the web page like you already do with wikipedia. I BTW think that *not* having to use HTML but a simplified markup is actually a feature not a bug. This is one of the reasons wikis became so popular. But again, I'm not even a regular contributor to www-related stuff in Debian, I just want it to look better :) So, feel free to ignore me.
