So that ain't a problem.But a Wiki has some drawbacks: * Structure: I haven't seen much Wiki's (which are user editable) thathave a very tight structure. Everybody can add/edit/remove stuff, or youhave to protect a lot of pages. Not really what we want I guess. * Content: sure you can post anything on a Wiki, but as we speak about"guides 4 n00bs" and "custom *Cmd's", you need file uploads. Not a realproblem, but a Wiki is not the best thing to use for it. So I'm more thinking about a Joomla based site. Joomla has lots of Extensions that can provide structured functionality. Sure it needs agood basic setup, but once that is done, the info stays in that structure.
Just as a Joomla site needs a 'good basic setup' I think a wiki would also work just fine if it had a 'good basic setup' (setup some good categories, etc.). And commands and scripts don't necessarily need file uploads (though you could enable them for a wiki just fine), I'd just paste them in a code block on a wiki page. I really think I'd like a wiki better.
