I don't have a fetish for GitHub, it's just easier to implement I guess. A GitHub PR seems an improvement to Confluence though!
As for a plain wiki, I am also OK with it. Apache provides MoinMoin, we could make an INFRA request for an instance and move our wiki there. I'm curious if MoinMoin vs GitHub would lead to more contributions or not... --emi >-------- Original Message -------- >Subject: Re: DevFaq wiki update >Local Time: 10 January 2018 9:15 PM >UTC Time: 10 January 2018 19:15 >From: [email protected] >To: [email protected] > >On Wed, 10 Jan 2018 at 19:03 Emilian Bold [email protected] >wrote: > >>>I think a static site and a wiki are somewhat orthogonal things. >>>I believe even the old wiki needed a login for edit. >> > Yes, and so would this - the two options are for committers to have direct > edit and other people with GitHub accounts to PR, or for everyone with a > GitHub account able to edit.
