test.darcs.net is just an example - showing Eric what a Gitit wiki looks like, and how it can be self-hosting in a sense (all the files except the password file in the repo), and more to the point how 'source code' files and 'article' files can coexist in the same wiki. When we actually switch, it won't be based on the Weekly News repo, it'll be a fresh one.

I understand twb was working on a script which could translate most of MoinMoin markup into Markdown (or was it ReST?). Once that's done presumably we would then lock the original wiki, grab a fresh tarball, dump all the spam and auto-generated pages, run twb's tool over every page, and do a bunch of 'darcs add' on the files.
