No matter what you do on the Internet, there'll always be someone,
usually multiple people -- people who _aren't_ bothering to do any of
the work -- who're glad to tell you (usually after you're 90% done) that
your work sucks and that you should be doing something else.  Ah well.

This looks pretty nice:  http://www.ubuntu.com/
and this:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/
not to mention:  https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuWiki
and this one:  http://bazaar-vcs.org/
and here:  http://wiki.python.org/moin/FrontPage
and also:  http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/
and, hey, this is really clean:  http://lagses.berkeley.edu/wiki.cgi/Home

All of those were built on MoinMoin, without notably torturing the
architecture.  

However, you might be right, Daniel, so why don't you go fully populate
a MediaWiki prototype for us.  SVLUG's site has only several hundred
pages.  I'm sure you'll have it done in no time.
