Randy and jdd bring up some good/valid points. For the longest
time, I've been against this (primarily due to the mirror situation,
which relies on static HTML content), but I now think it's time
for a shift. We've been stagnating for a long time now and bringing
in the wiki technology might be exactly what we need.
I support the effort, and I will assist to make it possible.
I think we should move forward with a prototype and, in parallel,
create a list of issues (such as mirror support) that need to be
addressed.
Paul (ibiblio), is it possible to set this up on ibiblio?
