Hi Simon,

 (whoops! I forgot to mention you in the overview I posted a second ago)

Do you think this affects a lot of pages?

Right now I've pushed the converted front page, but I have loads more
conversion patches queued up.  Should I just push them all in now?

My idea is that if you change the converter, you can

 (1) darcs get http://darcs.net/darcs-wiki redo\
     --to-match 'Fix some names that the moin converter mangled'
 (2) re-run the conversion process

 (3) darcs get http://darcs.net/darcs-wiki latest
 (4) cp redo/*.page latest
 (5) cd latest; darcs record

If the converter only changes in small ways, this should result in small
tweak patches. Could this plan work?

This is serious.  I'm willing to lock Moin (leaving it readable) and
point people to http://test.darcs.net for writing anyway.  I think we
can improve this over time.

Thanks,
