The conversion/import script 
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/attachment/wiki/TracWiki/mediawiki2trac.py 
is badly broken.  The wiki markup conversion could easily be 
improved/fixed, but a more serious issue is that user identities 
are not imported and page histories are lost.

I might be the only one who uses a template -- {{city}} -- on the 
current MediaWiki, and that would have to be rewritten as a Macro. 
A useful import/conversion function should translate MediaWiki 
template calls to Trac macro calls.  I could do this in Perl, but 
I'm not fluent enough in Python.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/trac/wiki/RecentChanges looks utterly 
primitive, like something from 2001 (the year, not the movie).
