Love 'em, and think they would provide (a) a good way to write ad hoc documentation, (b) a good way to host certain discussions. At my day job we use an internal wiki for documentation almost exclusively, and sometimes as an effective public brainstorming tool. (And we're fairly centrally located--for distributed, asynchronous discussion a wiki is even more useful.) > 2. JSPWiki - good choice or bad choice? Never used it, so no real opinion, although there seem to be a number of wiki's that are much more popular (perhaps not in java though). There's a big list of wiki impls on Ward's Wiki at <http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngines>, of course. (Most wiki clones, JSPWiki included, seem to be GPLed, if that matters to anyone.) > 3. Scope of the wiki(s) - ((Turbine) and (Avalon)), Jakarta or Apache? I'd like to see a wiki with at least jakarta scope. One option might be to use a wiki that supports "namespaces", or a federation of wikis with intra-wiki links, so that one could create a "sub-wiki" per project but still support "global" cross-linking. For example, a intra-wiki link might look like Turbine:OracleHowTo versus plain ol' OracleHowTo. Alternatively, a simple convention of prefixing the project name might be sufficient for a shared wiki namespace, but might need support from some WikiGnomes. > 4. Hosting - apache.org or external Something internal would seem official. > 5. Timing - now, soon, later or never Soon. If I can use this wiki (or this makes it easier to set up another wiki) for other jakarta/apache projects, I'd be more than happy to help out however I can. Please keep me posted, either via jakarta-general, by pointing out where this discussion is happening, or via a direct note. - Rod -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
