Good, let's make the move to Drupal.  Textile has the same learning  
curve as a wiki so that should meet the ease of use need.  It  
translates to valid xhtml so we should be able to extract that some  
how.  The wiki offered revisions, and I believe Drupal documentation  
currently offers revisions.   The wiki was accessible by anyone who  
could browse to it.  We are going to need a place for organic growth  
and that means people should not need special permission to create  
pages.  Create a sandbox directory or what ever, but we need that  
ability to get spontaneous contributions as well as freely edit each  
others work.  I think all of that is possible with Drupal, but it  
might be worth a tutorial for everybody.

Most of the documentation that is created by this team has been in  
emails.  The documentation forum does not appear to be synced with  
the drupal-docs mailing list.  Could we make that happen?

Cheers,
Kieran
