Seedwiki is an offered service and the FlightGear page was first setup by David M. as an easy way to gather additional documentation without the need of a maintainer. Seedwiki has a near wysiwyg way to edit pages, but the display is restrained in a narrow strip. I find mediawiki ( or at least your implementation ) easier to read and certainly to design pages because it offers the whole screen to edit. I am just worried I can't find the pages I wrote : http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/flight_gear/flightgear_scenery_designer.cfm http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/flight_gear/flightgear_launch_control and their descendant. Now, few questions : Is it a complete port ? Are you planning to maintain the coherency between the two during the transition ? Where is it hosted ? What is the perenniality of this hosting ? BTW: wiki.flightgear.org doesn't work for me. -Fred -- Frédéric Bouvier http://frfoto.free.fr Photo gallery - album photo http://www.fotolia.fr/p/2278 Other photo gallery http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ FlightGear Scenery Designer ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
