I just want to lift up this thread again since the interest the first
time was a lot less than I expected. I know there was some issue with
the mail to forum gateway for the general section last week so if
anybody tried to answer via mail previously it might not have reached
the forum.

It looks like we will be able to solve the hosting costs through a
community member, so I'm mainly interested to know if there are people
who would be willing to help keeping the information on the wiki
updated. If we are only 2-3 persons in the community that's interested
to help updating the information I'm skeptical if it's worth the
effort.

Also, as I mentioned in the initial post, to make it interesting on
longer terms I also think we need to have a broader scope of a community
wiki so we can use it also for other music streaming hardware/software
and not just for Logitech equipment, especially since Squeezebox
hardware is eventually going to disappear or and most of us are less
interested in the new UE Smart Radio devices.

Anyway, please let me know if you are interested to help keeping the
information updated if we would create a new community managed wiki
site.
Finally, please only say that you are interested if you really are, I
don't want to end up in a situation where we spend time and effort to
setup a wiki site and later have to maintain the information all by
myself.
