Could you _please_ at least submit the results to Drupal as well? I understand that Drupal's stuff may not show nicely right now, but that'll eventually be fixed, and I'd really dislike translation work to be duplicated. > Later, I shall like adding more diagram, image, etc.... > I chose dokuwiki (https://www.dokuwiki.org/), because I know it and > because I like the fact that it hasn't database (it's only simple files) > and just install PHP. > > At the moment it is hosted on my local machine and not accessible from > outside, but if you find that it is a good idea, I would give you all > files, in order to host a GNUnet wiki, and test it. > I am ready to put a lot into this wiki. > > So, what about a Wiki ? Do you plan to administer it? Note that I see about 100-200 accounts being created by spammers on gnunet.org per month _despite_ the captcha. Also, all Wikis that I know tend to end up having VERY different translations with very different structure. With the current system, we at least have a reasonable chance of comparable content in different languages. I'm happy for people to make suggestions for how to make our manuals more accessible (i.e. better structure, etc.). But I must admit that I have a personal bias against wikis. Whenever I've seen them used by projects with a moderate group, they have evolved into a useless mess. Naturally, you may have a different experience, but I think the main reason that our website might not be great is (1) that simply nobody qualified had enough time to work on it (which switching technologies won't fix), and (2) that we have a hard time getting volunteers to work on it as they have to contact a developer to raise their permissions, which creates a psychological barrier (but if we did not do this, spam would end up being 90% of the website, or we'd end up spending more time deleting spam than writing documentation). That's my analysis, but as always I'm listening to other opinions, especially of people that are helping. Happy hacking!
