Yes, that is an advantage, although I'm sure we could implement this
feature for any open source Wiki software without too much trouble.

I think the main advantage of using web2py would be hosting
requirements. We can run a web2py Wiki on a free GAE account, such as
http://web2py.appspot.com (where we currently have Reddish).

As an alternative, we could run an existing Wiki software off of
Massimo's university hosting, but I don't like the current setup. We
don't need HTTPS (except perhaps for login), and the expired self-
signed certificate is problematic. Can the HTTPS be removed?

We can easily put the manual's Sphinx/RST code into Bitbucket or
Launchpad, so free hosting is already available for that.

This is my main complaint regarding MoinMoin as well. When I tried it
some 8 years back, it was virtually unusable.

I must disagree here. It's surprisingly difficult to reinvent the
wheel. If we go ahead and try using a brand new web2py Wiki for real
work, we *will* have some problems--problems that we will avoid if we
use mature software.

I agree, but that doesn't mean we must use a web2py Wiki right away...
this can be the plan for Phase 2.
