I'd say that we *try* to make the site essentially the same as it was
before after migration and after using a new CMS. Of course, this is
all assuming that it's not impossible or very painful to recreate the
functionality of the existing site on the new site.
I'd agree with David K. that if we start talking about a new model or
new functionality or something drastically different, it'll be at
*least* another 6 months before the move happens. I think we should
hold off on any major changes in functionality until after a move.
Once the move is done, *then* we can start adding stuff, changing
stuff, migrating to a whole new wiki model/drupal thingy/whatever we
want. There should be a priority on moving otherwise that's never going
to happen at least not in my lifetime ;-)
