Bummer.

There's no reason it *has* to be useless though.  The Moin developer now has
shell access, so if there are technical problems with wiki, like its theme,
performance, or lack of features, we can get those fixed.  If it's the content
or organization that needs improvement, then we can recruit from the much
larger Python community than those that have write access to the core svn.
Let's honor and encourage folks who are really good at tending to wikis and
give them the tools they need to make the wiki excellent.

Of course, if the consensus is that wikis are just a waste of time and do more
harm than good, then we should shut ours down.  (I don't agree it is though.)
