Agree - what we have now is hard to maintain and require Drupal experience 
which many people lack (I am one of them). Every time when I have to edit 
current OE wiki I feel that this is too complicated and too many options 
are present. Also there is always a problem with creating new pages as 
current situation looks like only registered users can create new pages 
but anyone can edit them.

Will it be MediaWiki or ikiwiki does not matter too much for me. We need 
system which has:

- spam protection
- protecting pages (so only admins can edit)
- registering users (I would prefer to not have anonymous edits)
- blocking users (spammers)
- sane syntax for content

We have to decide which way we will go. One wiki for website and 
documentation or website (drupal, wordpress) + documentation in wiki.
