Yep.
I have a ready to deploy ansible task for a automated builder ( even if
I am looking more and more on using jenkins or something similar )
We are using this for project atomic, for gluster and
community.redhat.com.
And we (osas) are looking at a converter from mediawiki to middleman,
for the ovirt project.
We talked, a year ago, about moving the site to middleman. At the time,
the sentiment was that we wanted to keep it in a wiki, for ease of
participation from the community. I don't know that that's a valid
argument any more, since, from looking at the Mediawiki stats, it's
generally the same dozen people making edits all the time, and there are
a number of enhancements that we can make to the entire site experience
if we move to middleman.
It's definitely worth looking at again, and would let us keep all of
this stuff in revision control rather than having it in SPOF database.
