Jim,

I'm not around here much lately, so I may have missed a few things and 
be late with my comment, but I still have an old idea from the time 
when I did the docs.

 The basic idea was the same as you're doing now, make the docs 
available in a wiki. My look at it was a bit different, as I'm lazy and 
don't like all the conversions that have to be done. Then I came across 
the MoinMoin Wiki engine http://moinmo.in/ that makes it possible to 
use several different parsers for wiki markup. Being a terrible 
programmer I never got anything that eats pov-doc as markup. Yet still, 
would it be possible to do something like that for the MediaWiki 
engine?

Another way could be to abandon the pov-doc format and choose ReST 
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html , the MoinMoin engine can deal 
with ReST http://moinmo.in/HelpOnParsers/ReStructuredText and the 
python documentation is also written in ReST and then processed with 
Sphinx http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ an example of the docs 
http://docs.python.org/index.html
