Yeah, the current wiki  is broken in various ways :)  Just in: James has
put up a test wiki so we can start working on the transfer issues:
http://test.wiki.ubuntu.com/ (note: this may or may not be the final

Very cool!

Now, how do we do the Moin->DocBook step? I guess a page like this:
http://test.wiki.ubuntu.com/FrontPage?action=print is a good step in
that direction. To do it properly we will have to write an export filter
in python, and then we can put in whatever tags we want. The question
then will be where to store tags like <author> in the Moin markup? I
guess we can do it in a comment and then have the python parser fish it out.
