Moving from MediaWiki to GitHub (Jekyll)

Alex
The next thing I want to migrate is the wiki at http://quest5.net/

It's currently using MediaWiki, which is:

- overkill
- a pain to host and maintain
- not user-friendly for contributors

I'm tempted to move over to GitHub Pages https://pages.github.com/ - this will allow the wiki to be written using Markdown, which is easier than the MediaWiki markup. Also, it will allow contributors to contribute by sending pull requests in GitHub, in the same way as Quest code itself. Currently hardly anybody contributes to the wiki, as I had to lock down registrations due to spammers. A pull request system will allow changes to be reviewed before they're made live.

I'll have a look and see how we might migrate the existing documentation over - hopefully there won't be a ridiculous amount of manual effort involved, but we'll see!
