Sounds like an interesting idea. I can definitely see the benefits of improving the integration between all our different kinds of documentation. I personally find our current MoinMoin software to be a bit cumbersome (although right now I think my main complaint are that you can't selectively edit individual sections of a document, and that users have a hard time figuring out how to log in). > a) gitit is still young. > b) libdarcs isn't ready *today* to be the backend. > c) Porting the existing wiki content. That said, I think we should take (a) very seriously. For example, does gitit have some kind of even rudimentary anti-spam measure? Moreover, I think we should consider (d) we have other fish to fry right now. Our community has been growing recently, and I am both very grateful and excited to see this. Nevertheless, we are still small enough that we have to be very disciplined about setting priorities and not letting our attention wander too much. It's really great what wonderful things come out of our collective imagination, and I hope to see many more wacky ideas in the future. In the meantime, I recommend that that we re-open the discussion when we have met these other objectives: - patch tracker - benchmarking - darcs 2.2 - libdarcs (this is the cabal file work that we just need to do) - restisation of the manual We should definitely keep something like this -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
