I do not disagree. Only want to point out it is an option. Not saying we would do it. Only that it should be considered and possible discarded as a solution. If some standard was used during the creation of the individual project wikis, It would not be difficult to cross-link them to provide a (more or less) seamless site. > Who would be responsible for keeping this all up-to-date?

Unless everything is running on the same CMS, issues (like dead links) will crop up. But for the most part, perma-links and standardizing page names would take care of most of that. > Third, I do not think that it is a good idea to be too dependent on Gitlab. > Even if it is self-hostable, you have to pay for some advanced features. You don’t pay for advanced features when self-hosted. But it is something that would require actively maintaining. Keeping up with updates and security patches. And it is possibly that required features could go away in future updates. Which of course could require migrating to a better solution. But regardless of the solution that is chosen, any 3rd party project may change and force another migration. > I would rather go the other direction: Shifting more towards self-hosted > services.
