It’s a bit better since last time I tried it, with the addition of Pages so you don’t have to resort to hacks like categories-with-only-one-post and such. At least, with WordPress you get commenting functionality and such, which I wasn’t there in MoinMoin (which I used for my web site for a while). On the other hand, there’s no history for pages/posts in WP, something I really miss.

And oh, about the auto conversion.. I’m using the ReStructuredText plugin, and I also found out the hard way you had to remove a bunch of filters from the_content()/the_excerpt() “template tags” (what a messed-up way to do templating…)

Hope things work out for you!
