I think that's a great idea. I'm not a frequent user of our Wiki, but 
e.g. for DIPs it's nice to have a better engine. I don't see why Walter 
would oppose a change.

The only thing we need to worry about is preserving links lest Google 
search pagerank gets lost. Is it possible to keep the old link convention?
