I am sure that the Zawgyi glyphs can be converted into a compliant font.
We are speaking of issues of sharing knowledge with all
people - and
it is important that the community be kept strong and working
together in harmony for that goal. There is a complex situation
with the fonts, yes. But the solution is not to split into two
websites, the solution is to find a way to support everyone together.
As I have said, I think it is no harm for them to be working away
creating some content, since that content can be converted once we
get my.wiki sorted out. A staged upgrade, assuming that the other
site agrees (good will and all) to shut itself down when the time
comes.
