That is exactly what it is.

This was something I picked up from an infra@ mail.  Though I think it 
may no longer be an issue.

What I meant was, users are not directed to the wiki pages as your or I 
would edit, they are sent to exported HTML files which would mean faster 
access, and better caching.  With other options like being usable 
(possibly) with a docs build process somehow, so if wiki pages are ever 
promoted to the official docs we could have a simple process.

I agree, Moin can be rather painful at times.  It's clunky interface, 
and as you rightly point out things like it's odd linking syntax all 
make me want to look at anything that may be better.  Hence my original 
idea.

Just wanted to scope opinion that's all.
