The D wiki engine must be replaced

Hi,

I wanted to edit something in the D wiki[1], had a problem and learned more 
about the used wiki engine ProWiki.

[1] http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d

 - The last ProWiki release was in 2006
 - This was also the first open source release
 - Prowiki was apparently developed only by Helmut Leitner
 - The project is dead by all standards

I consider it extremely important for the success of D to have a usable 
wiki. I don't consider the current wiki usable. I don't have a strong 
opinion about other wiki engines so I won't give a recommendation here.

I personally would prefer a wiki system based on Git to allow offline 
editing, like Ikiwiki.

I don't know the history of the wiki, but it might be adequate to thank 
Helmut Leitner for his work and efforts.

Best regards, Thomas Koch
