I think that a high priority is to change the contents of the website,
with the appearance being of much lesser importance. For example, the main
site says we have a weekly newsletter, but it's been defunct since
2006. Also the Maifesto need some improvement and I'll try to offer
some suggestions on that.
I think it's often helpful for people to make suggestions even though
they are not willing to help implement them. We need to form a list
of priorities in our minds of what LDP needs to do most and such
suggestions help.

Ok, this is one high priority problem. I'm not sure what to put in
the Author-HOWTO about this. Is it a problem both ways? (I think yes
it is). Is it a worse problem from DocBook to wiki?
I've noticed that Wikipedia (not our Moin-Moin) has a lot of useful
templates that would not be available if it were converted to DocBook.
If one went wiki->docbook and then docbook->wiki, the templates would
get lost (unless there was some special way of retaining them in
docbook such as putting them inside comments. Are there similar
templates available in Moin-Moin wiki?
