Hi,

When I was compiling the FAQ somebody suggested to use a Wiki. As I
wasn't very familiar with the concept I've opted with something more
mainstream as DocBook (DB). DB has the advantages of multiple output
formats, but after the initial hype the hassle of the
edit-convert-check-commit is really showing, causing me to pile up small
changes. This was an obstacle even greater for 3rd party contributions.
A Wiki seems now a much more viable solution in the long-term.

So I've hacked some quick DocBook->Wiki stylesheet to the the bulk of
the conversion, and then hand edited the result to fit the common Wiki
structure. 

I envite everybody to experience it at http://dri.sourceforge.net/wiki/
and contribute!

One topic where the Wiki is particularly outdated is regarding the new
drivers on the works, (VIA, S3 and SIS).  

Differently from the former FAQ, this Wiki is not dedicated exclusively
to the developers -- user topics are welcome. It would be particularly
interesting to concentrate there some of the user information that is
scattered on the web.

Enjoy,

Jose Fonseca


PS: SouceForge only has Python 1.5.2, and although MoinMoin supposedly
supports it, it was never been tested(!), causing several exceptions.
I've tried to fix most of them, but some minor ones on less used
features still persist.

PPS: SourceForge doesn't allow setuid/setgid CGI scripts, so the Wiki
data must be world readable/writable. I have a cron job periadically
(daily for the moment) backing-up the data.
