I don't see the point in upgrading the current wiki, when developing a 
replacement at the same, to throw away the upgraded wiki after finishing 
it. Sorry, I don't have the time to do that.

If you want to have a working wiki, just check out an old revision of 
koala, web-framework and wiki, that's what a version control system is 
good for.

You don't seem to be working on it - I do. I don't want to be harsh or
anything, but subversion takes away a lot of the sparse time I have.

Sure, I'm responsible for upgrading it and I'm currently doing so.
What's the problem?
