To be consistent with other documents: Is there one that supports restructuredText out of the box?
Outside of the Geany developers (and/or doc writers), I don't think it would be as common to users for this purpose. That being said, MoinMoin seems to support it out of the box[1], and MediaWiki via an extension[2].

I don't really mind what markup, but I will note that some are pushing for Creole to become a standard & IIUC several wikis now support it.
I'm guessing that the idea of seeking a wiki which supports ReST was that if the newsletter was produced in ReST markup, it could be cut-and-pasted into the wiki.
Geany's documentation is ReST, and as we discussed early in the newsletter discussion, probably better to keep to one tool.
But the wiki is likely to have wider use than those changing Geany documentation (hopefully :-) so its markup should be a more widely used one. If it also supports ReST and so allows pasting of newsletters, documentation etc then that would be a good point in favor of that particular wiki engine.

Please ignore my previous message. :P I don't know why I mentioned the newsletter. The proposal for a wiki whose content is able to be edited by Geany's community members was so that hints, tips, snippets etc could be shared. I claim that cosmic waves temporarily interfered with my brain waves.
