+Attempts to convert Permatrac Wiki to Markdown format.
+
+Last time I had to do something like this it looks like I took the
+Trac -> HTML -> html2markdown path.  Could do that again.  Recipe for
+fetching the HTML:
+
+     wget -r --user=sra@hactrn.net --ask-password https://permatrac.noc.ietf.org/wiki/
+
+Scripts from rpki.net/doc/*/*.{sh,py,xsl}, included here under tools/.
+
+The other approach is converting Trac wiki directly to markdown.
+There are hacks for this, in Ruby:
+
+  https://gist.github.com/somebox/619537
+
+But there are also Python versions, which are a bit more tractible.
+Several of them included in tools/ too.
