This all sounds good to me; certainly better than adding darcs and rest support to ikiwiki (which is in perl, not happs), or adding darcs and rest support to moinmoin (which is what we currently use, and is gonna have support for a non-Darcs VCS backend Real Soon NowTM). > Potential problems: > a) gitit is still young. > b) libdarcs isn't ready *today* to be the backend. > c) Porting the existing wiki content. > > For (a) maybe we should play it safe and wait X months?

Why not just re-examine (a) once (b) is ready? _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
