I have been asked to start porting over some of the content of the 
cvsnt.org wiki into a new format based on a portal system (XOOPS).  The 
articles (aka "sections") uses a more HTML-like markup than the wiki, 
and can be configured to allow straight HTML as long as your authors are 
well trusted.

I know Bo would be considered well trusted, but I don't know if this is 
configurable on a per-author basis.  I therefore don't know if we would 
be using straight HTML at all since we would like to keep this fairly 
open-on-request.

Unfortunately this task is one of those "when I get time" tasks, which 
never seems to get done.  It has literally been months since I've even 
looked at it.

If anyone is interested in volunteering, I'll give you a tutorial on how 
to start moving on this and point you to some resources that will help 
get this transformation moving again.  The software isn't difficult to 
use (much lower learning curve than the wiki, IMHO) and the permissions 
are easier to understand as well.

I think this would definitely be a positive help for the CVSNT community
