So far there is no decision, reason why I started this thread :)
I guess our target would be to convert (and sanitize ?) existing content
anyway as we don't want to lose such content. Then either replacing
wiki.centos.org with new solution (but trying to keep the same structure
so that all the things in cache for search engines and/or articles
pointing to wiki can still work) or move to something different and
indeed keeping existing wiki.centos.org in Read-Only mode

I'd like to avoid Github specifically but having something else that
would permit to use ACO (https://acccounts.centos.org) as auth source. I
already played with gitea and it works with openid so self-hosted git
instance using ACO works fine. (but that's a different thread)

We should divide all parts into specific areas. Benefits of using .md
means being able to switch to something else even later and not be tied
to $yet_another_tool to generate the web part. (just my idea)
