I think the difference you're talking about has nothing to do with wiki 
vs. PEP.  I think the difference is in the maturity level of the 
software being discussed.  A PEP is easier to understand mainly because 
the technology discussed (Python) is well understood.  Some of the Zope 
3 wiki is hard to understand because the technology is still under 
development and is not understood well enough to document.  Switching to 
a PEP system would not change this.

To anyone who feels an inkling to reply to this thread: don't reply, 
instead direct your energy toward some wiki gardening.  It's easy. :-)
