[Infrastructure] Wiki Progress

[Wayne Thayer]

Well done Jos!

I don't think the loss of edit history is much of a concern, and agree that
keeping the old wiki around for a while would help to mitigate the problem.
I'd suggest that we just include this info as a caveat when alerting
members of the cutover to the new system.
