+
+The wiki team needs new blood.
+
+Since the last status report (2024Q3) forward progress has stalled.
+We have given out several dozen new accounts but most of the changes by these new authors have been to individual pages, not to the overall structure.
+
+Mark Linimon still thinks the wiki could be a great resource if people were willing to put time into it.
+But right now, there are more complaints about stale data than there are new contributors and new ideas.
+
+It is fair to say that right now, the wiki is on autopilot.
+
+==== Previous plans that have stalled
+
+Preliminary work was being done on updating the wiki software itself.
+Earlier, we were looking at switching implementations because MoinMoin development seemed to have stalled, leaving us with an unwanted hanging python2 dependency.
+However, MoinMoin now claims that they are nearing a 2.0 release.
+We have not yet tried an install of their latest beta version to test compatibility.
+
+==== Specific short-term requests for help
+
+If anyone knows about MoinMoin markup, contact Mark.
