Ha, well, I think Pandoc is the one to try first, let's say that for starters.

Here's what I was thinking:
If you're interested in the export, run an experiment with Pandoc to
convert from RST to Mediawiki.

http://pandoc.org/demos.html

You'll likely still have cleanup but it's a start. Only convert
troubleshooting to start, which gets the most hits: docs.openstack.org/
ops-guide/ops-network-troubleshooting.html
Then see how much you get from Pandoc.


Hope this helps -
