The reason that MediaWiki was installed on haskell.org is that people that know how to install and use MediaWiki (Ashley and others) volunteered to do all the work.
That's fair.
If we want to move up to Drupal we need someone that is willing to install, maintain, and transfer content. If this is something you want to do let me know.
Well, I consider more important to first decide resolve about "why" rather than "how" ("When there is a will, there is a way." :-) i.e. do we need/want CMS like Drupal or not. Then, I'm sure we can sort out how to install it. I personally install some older Drupal on my localhost, but I'm ready to help (both wiki & CMS has to be maintained). By looking at Drupal's site I've noticed that DocBook export module will be in 4.7 (atm in beta3.) and if you check http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/book it sounds interesting (there was lot of talk to e.g. keep DocBook format for GHC). And, as I wrote earlier, CMS brings forums and some other features, it's not just more powered-wiki, so let's decide if we want it...
MediaWiki addresses many of the issues we've had with haskell.org but it isn't meant to be the only possible way forward.
I'm just sorry seeing that lot of time is already invested in transferring the content... Sincerely, Gour
