I like the idea as it unifies comment syntax. But is it viable to
convert the whole wiki? I believe you wrote (if not, you should do it
now) a module to convert old pages, is it 100% safe? (maybe compare
the html output to verify the success of each page).

If the rewrite is going to happen, i suggest an MVC approach,
currently, there are >5000 loc on a single file! Divide and conquer. I
was going to suggest a rewrite, but why change something that works?
The only downside is that adding a feature is really hard.

You should also be careful with the url pattern implemented now. To
the end user, *nothing* should change. I'm saying this mostly because
of search engines. Also note that the IDE uses a special url pattern
to display inline help and changing it would break previous versions.

Maybe we should discuss this on the irc channel.

Anyway, if you need any help, let me know, i like the challenge ;)
