It's amusing that the OSQA Wiki is using Atlassian Confluence:

How would you convert general content into the Q&A format?

According to the user guide [*], the individual contributions/fragments use 
the largely awful Markdown syntax [**].

From my experiences converting between markup languages [*] and also parsing 
Moin syntax for various Moin extension purposes, I would anticipate a lot of 
problems in getting Markdown to faithfully reproduce the output of 
non-trivial Moin markup.
