I guess we could also set up a separate repo on github just for the wiki and be very liberal about giving out write access and admin rights for it. That would solve the issue of requiring write access to either the nixpkgs or nixos repos in order to be able to contribute to the wiki. For people concerned about github lock-in, this would however still be make it more convenient for people with github accounts to contribute. I guess there is nothing stopping people from hosting their repos elsewhere and being merged as necessary. More people seem to be familiar with ikiwiki than the github wiki system (gollum). Should we go with ikiwiki then? Is someone willing and able to maintain an instance of that on nixos.org? > On 03/23/2013 12:03 PM, Marc Weber wrote: >> For completness: I think that protecting the "create new user" feature >> by htaccess, and documenting it (even with password) on the wiki would >> be enough to keep spam bots away. >> >> That can be done without updating media wiki should not take much time >> either. That sounds like a great idea regardless of whether we stick with Mediawiki or not. Is it possible/easy to delete content from every contributor who isn't on a whitelist, or is there some other convenient way to clean it up? Is there anything I can do to help? _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
