I've got the basic wiki content converted in markdown and showing nicely
(while preserving the wiki revisions and most of the contributors). Adding
a theme for a pretty layout is a finishing touch. First, all the links and files
need doing - definitely possible.

A key question is will it be as easy for people to edit as the wiki is/was?
