Is it really that helpful? At ivtvdriver.org nobody really misses
that, while there are quite a few users that are mediawiki experts and
have taken the load off the developers' shoulders. After all one of
the ideas of a wiki is to make it easier for users to contribute to
documentation.

At least tickets and any items that will be sent in notifier channels
(a commit/notify list) should not contain markup. This makes it very
hard to the ASCII MUA user (i.e. all od us? ;).

Well, as I said I personally prefer mediawiki, but I'm not insisting :)
