Moving the Ubuntu Wiki to Mediawiki or something else?

[Benjamin Kerensa]

My concern is migrating content would need to be done manually and be very
time consuming.

There are no tools to automated importing from moinmoin to mediawiki as far
as I know.

That said Canonical should look at Mozilla's Mediawiki repo on github as it
has fine tuned permissions and plugins that make managing a large mediawiki
install easier and also makes deploying easy
