There have been several suggestions that we switch from the present 
pywiki, which has proven rather unstable, to something a little more 
modern and reliable.  IIRC, the suggestions have been

  MoinMoin  http://moin.sourceforge.net/
  UseMod    http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UseModWiki

although I'm sure there are many possibilities.

It looks to me like UseMod would be a reasonable choice, so unless there are any objections I plan to attempt migration in the near future (modulo work demands, of course).

Any comments?
