I'm pretty displeased with the twiki interface as well.  I find it  
confusing/annoying and the page layout ugly...and at one point, there  
was a bug where EVERY SINGLE PAGE LOAD caused the authentication  
dialog to come up under Safari.  The Twiki developers seemed to take  
the arrogant attitude of "it works fine in every OTHER browser, so  
we're not going to fix it", even though no other web app I've ever  
used/seen has this problem.  I think it's since been fixed, but I was  
less than impressed.  It also has some account business which  
painfully requires human intervention.

I suggested moving it to the same software Wikipedia uses, converted  
a few articles (by hand- some of them are in dire need of formatting  
cleanup and such), and asked for help moving articles.  I got mostly  
silence, so I dropped it.

The knowledgebase is very important.  If a bunch of people are  
willing to *commit* to helping convert a few articles each (it's not  
hard, you just need to learn both twiki and Mediawiki "markup", and  
it's pretty easy to print out the short manual for each covering said  
markup) we could do it in a weekend or less start to finish.   
Converting a single article, and cleaning it up, shouldn't take more  
than an hour.  Much less if you skimp on the cleanup or the article  
is short, or well written, etc.

I'm willing to commit to at least several hours of editing some  
weekend.  Anyone else?
