[Snip] I can see no objections for new Wikis to be created using Mediawiki (if those sufficiently familiar with Wikis believe that Mediawiki is currently the best available : I am completely infamiliar with them, so not in a position to offer an opinion), but I can see no benefit whatsoever in converting existing W3C Wikis if all information (such as user accounts, modification histories, etc) cannot automatically be carried across. Thus I am /opposed/ to the HTML 5 Wiki being so converted unless and until there can be a guarantee that all information can and will be automatically carried across. Philip Taylor
