The Monkeyguide is using XHTML, the excuse was that we wanted to do some
formatting using XSLT (which we do: one of those things we do is that we
do a simplistic css processing for 2 or 3 things).

The problem is that nobody contributes to the Monkeyguide.  The sources
have been on SVN forever, but it barely gets noticed.

So what do you have in mind?  We already have the data in a consumable
format (XHTML);  The question is how do we keep it updated, and
useful.  

Moving to the Wiki seems like a sane idea (considering that the Web site
is up-to-date for the first time now that we are using a Wiki ;-)

Miguel.
