At the moment it is even impossible to change the web site, because
it uses a totally broken setup (commit XML to Convergence internal
CVS, then run it through some scripts to generate the news page, then
put it on an internal preview server, then rsync to external, then
do on-the-fly XML2HTML conversion). Now, with the new server some
of the infrastructure is simply missing...

I have no experience with wikis. I think plain, simple, static
HTML (+ CSS) via CVS is best. It should be simple enough to
submit patches for the website then.
Question is who'd do the work?
