Sure. It doesn't count as a project I guess, so you would move into
Foundation:.* ?

<i>.*?</i> -> ''\1''

This functionality is replaced by the {{Mail}} template.
Usage:
* {{Mail|a3li}} -> <a href="mailto:a3li@gentoo.org">Alex Legler</a>
* {{Mail|a3li|foo}} -> <a href="mailto@a3li@gentoo.org">foo</a>
* {{Mail|a3li@g.o}} -> <a href="mailto:a3li@g.o">a3li@g.o</a>
* {{Mail|a3li@g.o|foo}} -> <a href="mailto:a3li@g.o">foo</a>

Project members will have to be recreated using the form.

keep "<br />"

Discard, everything is the same CC license, the old 2.x version allows
upgrade to the 3.0 we use.

Discard, GuideXML specific.

>     9 <resource/> (attribute resource)

These resource things could just become a list:
  * foo
  * bar
  * baz

Dump information, contents need to be recreated using the form as well.
Longdescription should 'just' be the first paragraph of the wiki page.

Does anyone actually use the goals feature? imo, discard.

We have proper syntax hilighting in the wiki. Discard?

Shouldn't these be proper projects?
