Presently the OOo initiative has several hundred if not thousands of
members. Some of them even get paid. There are a number of developers
donated by SUN Microsystems, and various user lists, language forums,
discussion dialogues and the such. This doesn't even scratch the
surface
of users manual and permanent archiving needs of guides and reference
material.
I would like to extend the idea of implementing the advantage of
taking
ahold of Various OOo blogs, for different initiatives that are being
worked on for OOo, and an OOo wiki designed to provide adaptable
content
to users as the software, and the communities grow. This would allow
users, administrators, user support, and discuss members, as well as
various language lists to collectively share their knowledge in a
centralized, open environment.

I like MediaWiki because it has been designed with the user in
mind, and
with the internet in mind. The software is still evolving, and works
very well in my opinion.
Does anyone like these ideas? I don't see how OOo and its supporters
have anything to lose really, except maybe a few keystrokes.

We have a wiki por OOo extensions however there seem to be some
death OOo
projects like oooextras.sf.net which have been not moving for
certain years. A
wiki is a good idea but we really need to know what is that we
triying to do.
We have a knowledgebase already as well as a marketing site, there
have been
encouragement of the community to do sites like
http://www.sreadopenoffice.org
which is still in development. Others such as OOoAuthor and
TutorialsforOpenOffice.org are example of some documentation sites and
OOoForums.org is for discussions of use.
Wiki is great but is also a challenge, writting a book in a wiki is
hard to
download and print and most end users are more used to have a PDF of
the 'book'
and print it out. So you would need to manage the effiency of a
web-based only
OOo guide.
I was just thinking... You know. That it could be based sort of on the
same method as the rest of the web. People can quickly find what their
looking for, by following links around the wiki, and that members could
be allowed to update the content accordingly. This would provide a
fairly open, method of documentation creation, and collection. I was
thinking that it would be better used to build the reference material,
versus providing it, and perhaps provide an interim documentation source
until the guides are ready to be published. That's all.

I agree but we need the massiveness, I have a wiki for my local LUG
and it went
well until people had too many tools and couldn't keep up. Right now
we are
having forums, wikis, mailing list, chat rooms, cms, and a lot of
fragmentation
is going on.
OOoAuthor is the same thing, volunteers from OOoAuthors is equal to
the concept
of everyone building content and providing content. Same as the
Knowldege Base,
even OOoAuthors have blogs and the search functionalities of Plone are
very
advanced simply because they are based in Python which is a language who
excelently handle strings (text).
My advise is to really dig into OOoAuthors and see if this is what you
were
talking about and what difference u think wiki will provide.
Hi alexandro. One of my links was wrong, and so I'll update it here.
* A new public wiki could be sponsord here in the mean time >>
http://wikicities.com/wiki/Wikicities
not sure why that didn't paste properly the first time. Anyway. I'll go
look at OOo Authors, and if you like, you can follow that link.
