Not if it's titled "Unofficial Chromium Wiki" and hosted on some random dude's webspace (where "some random dude" is any institution other than Google). The official docs could point to it as an unofficial and not-Google-supported-or-vetted source that might contain better info than the official sources, or might contain malicious lies, use at your own risk. I don't see how any legal trouble could arise from that. > D) Create a separate project "chromium-wiki" on Google Code and add > users there on request. > Easiest solution? Well, that's still not really a wiki. Is a wiki what's wanted here, or just a slightly more open CMS? Most big OSS projects seem to have a real wiki these days. I'm not at all familiar with the Google Code wikis, but if their default access is restricted to project members only, then I'm guessing that they would be troublesome if you had actual open editing: they'd probably be lacking a lot of the anti- vandalism features that are a must on openly-editable wikis. If people just want a broader pool of basically trusted people to be able to edit, as opposed to a wiki in the usual sense, then this might be the best solution.

I don't know what options are good. Proposals for software, or for hosting? For software, MediaWiki is probably the most commonly used, and I could help out with any configuration or customization that might be needed. But on the other hand I'm probably biased, being a MediaWiki developer. :) I don't know much of anything about other wiki software, to be honest. For hosting, there are of course various commercial hosts, and they of course all serve ads. Someplace like Wikia would be fine if that's not a problem. Alternatively, anyone with PHP and MySQL could set it up, but that would of course require more commitment to configure it and manage it and so on, which the various wiki hosts do for you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-dev" group.
