I think the general consensus is to convert the wiki to mediawiki instead of wakka. Unfortunately, that will involve quite a bit of work to get everything moved over and to convert every page to look nice in mediawiki. I have already copied a ton of it to the mediawiki I recently added to the Storm Haven site. I haven't converted the layout of many pages yet, but I am trying to get at least some of them done myself for now. At least whatever I get done should be useful if we do finally decide to replace the wakka wiki with a mediawiki one.

I have the new Storm Haven wiki mixed in there as well, but here is what I have so far from the EQEmu wiki:

Even though it isn't very pretty on many of the EQEmu pages yet. It might be useful to people while this website is being moved to a new host.

Yes, that looks better to me; I would probably even take the time to go through and edit the pages to make them readable.

As much as we scream "search first search teh forums first!!!1" the underlying truth is that there is so much information collected here, that trying to sort through it all is like trying to sort through your neighbor's attic. And a large portion of it is outdated, because all of it collects on the forums. So a working, nice looking wiki could possibly help; I guess we'll see.

I've never done any wiki editing before, but I'm completely OCD and would be more than willing to help organize a new one. I'm kind of excited, actually. I like the thought of a bit of cleaning around here, these forums have been around so long that there's just information overkill, and not all of it is current or usable. It'd be nice to make things more user friendly.
