I absolutely second the request to go online with the new wiki, if two 
things are taken care of before:

a) we arranged a proper front page for the wiki - I especially don't 
like to see the big bunch of links there again we've had on the old 
wiki, let us group things properly together and do some nice box tricks!

b) we configured and enabled some kind of online edit plugin, since this 
should lower the barrier for small updates or updates in general from 
users with no mtn key and access yet. The addition or change of a 
project in ProjectsUsingMonotone is a good example why this should be 
enabled. I haven't looked yet whats already there, but I think even 
something simple like "-> edit -> preview -> send patch on save to 
monotone-devel" (or a new list, monotone-wiki-edits?) should already be 
sufficient - if of course there is some captcha in-place which prevents 
automated patch sending...

Furthermore we should also look later on on those pages which have not 
yet been converted if they're worth of being converted at all (things 
like new pages which contain just one implementation idea might be moved 
somewhere else, for example).

Thomas.
