One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that, although we could do
better, the wiki and the mailing list are among the *things that work*.

Frederick Grose has been on top of the Mediawiki from the web-admin
point of view and is quite knowledgeable of it.
I'm afraid a longer different-to-wikipedia process might be a chore to
set up with little return of investment.

As with all volunteer projects, those who do the work decide how (and
when) it's done. I don't think this is low hanging, or even fruit.

For what it's worth I wrote some tools some time ago to extract
wikipages from MediaWiki into plain text structure:
https://git.sugarlabs.org/somosazucar/spamblaster

One issue with this is that MediaWikiText is not Markdown. Then there
are images, tables, etc.

Sebastian
