Except that docbook doesn't convert to linuxdoc (although linuxdoc
does convert to docbook --but not perfectly). Thus if one wants they
can edit the docbook version of the wiki but there's no linuxdoc
version to edit. And since linuxdoc is easier to use, it would be
nice to have wiki2linuxdoc and a linuxdoc2wiki converters. Then one
could use linuxdoc to edit wikis. But I'm not sure if making such
converters is worth the effort. It might be better to try to develop a
docbook to linuxdoc converter but that's not so easy and markup
information will be lost on conversion. I don't have time to work on
such projects but would encourage others to do so.
