One of the reasons why we didn't migrate in the past is that we were unable to find a Wiki which supported some features used by the Board (only by the Board) such as private hierarchies/pages. It would probably be fine to move to another engine as long as it either had the necessary features, or we kept MoinMoin for the Board. But maintaining 2 different wikis engines... > FWIW Builder is going to move it's primary landing page off of > wiki.gnome.org so we can do something more immersive. It really depends who you're building your "web page" for. For people contributing to Builder, I would expect a Wiki to be fine. If it's about advertising the application, then it's certainly a good idea to move to something less restrictive.
