I agree that moving from prowiki to mediawiki is a good idea, but 
new site is just almost empty 
(http://dwiki.kimsufi.thecybershadow.net/?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=30&from=&limit=500 
see also 
http://dwiki.kimsufi.thecybershadow.net/Special:AllPages) and 
some portion of it is dedicated to developers (Walter Bright, 
Alexandrescu and others) which is not very interesting for those 
who are seeking language technical details.
