I still wonder what we are gaining by running darcsit instead of a stable,
proven wiki. Yes, it uses darcs, but that does not compensate for being lousy
at the most important task of a wiki: serving information.
I think these are big gains:
- being able to drop the least useful of our four documentation markups (latex,
haddock, restructured text, moin)
- being able to work on all documentation with the same tools, revision control
system, review process etc.
- requiring ourselves to see and deal with the scaling/usability issues of a
somewhat larger repo
I see improving our documentation management process as more important than serving the current content of the wiki to
readers, actually. Most of it is useful to developers and they can get to it one way or another. But yes we want the
wiki content to be web-browsable without hassles. If the wiki software isn't up to it yet, I'd vote we just publish
static pages generated with rst2html or pandoc. I and others demo'd this a while back.
