[OpenID] The Wiki

Starting to work on the wiki (http://wiki.openid.net/) and remember  
why I'm not the largest fan of running your own MediaWiki  
installation.  I've also made a change so that the default skin is now  
set back to the MediaWiki default instead of the OpenID one that Mart  
made since a) it was hard to read and b) the site no longer uses that  
design anyway.

I know that Chris Messina setup a "fan wiki" at http://openid.pbwiki.com/ 
  as well.  When we originally installed the OpenID Wiki we chose to  
self host MediaWiki since none of the hosted wiki services supported  
OpenID.  Now that PBWiki has good OpenID support, I'd personally like  
to see us move to using it.  We can copy over the useful information  
on the current wiki and set it up so that wiki.openid.net points at  
the PBWiki Chris created.

Anyone strongly object to this approach?  I think it will be easier to  
work with, has better OpenID support than MediaWiki, and is one less  
thing for Scott and I to manage on the OpenID.net box.
