Guys this has been a long discussion, let's finish it during the
doc-meating,. We can vote on it or something.

What we need is:
* somebody draw some icons for draft, howto, bug-report etc 
* we need a new frontpage, a how-to-write-stuff page, a good help page
* streamline our content, people ask stuff on the mailinglist/irc that
is on the wiki, why didn't they find it?
* The old wiki does not point to the new wiki, after more then a week?!?
* and we all must start writing pages. 

We still do not know what to use (moin, RST, ReST, html) but the most
important thing is lots of usefull pages, not two blue ones and a
yellow one, perfectly formatted.
I use ReST, and have written quite many pages with it. Some others use
moin. So be it, Moin is easier, ReST is more powerfull, i *need* stuff
that i cannot do with moin in zwiki. So what? Should people stop using
moin? No! Should I stop using ReST, yeah right!

Let's add content guys, not discuss stuff we do not decide anyway, we
do *not* admin the wiki, only provide content. Let's do what we can.
