Done and so wiki.centos.org is now presenting static files (exported 
from moin) , all fetched from https://gitlab.com/CentOS/docs/wiki_archives

Worth knowing that the Docs SIG 
(https://accounts.centos.org/group/sig-docs/) has full access to that 
'docs' namespace on gitlab.com/CentOS/ (and so can also modify the 
exported html files, should there be a need)

Kind Regards,
