</span>Since April is almost here, I would suggest to start looking into this<br>
issue. The obvious replacement is MediaWiki, but there are others, e.g.<br>
whatever Markdown-based engine Freedesktop.org uses[0]. (I will find out<br>
if it matters.)<br>
<br>
Second option would be to ditch the Wiki and use one of the static site<br>
generators (Jekyll[1], Hugo[2] or some other, there is a lot of<br>
them[3]). Unlike Wikipedia, we do not get many content contributions<br>
from the outside of the project so the wiki does not need to be easy to<br>
edit (i.e. we can require knowing Markdown and/or Git).<br>
<br>
Third option, which I would actually recommend, is to convert the<br>
contents into a repo with reStructuredText files and compile it with<br>
Sphinx, like we do with the manual.<br>
<br>
If we want a fancy static landing page for <a href="http://www.gromacs.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.gromacs.org</a> so the<br>
website does not look like "here is the different types of the docs and<br>
nothing else" (like OpenMM[6] has, for example), this is also easily<br>
doable with a nice-looking template[4] or a framework[5].<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
