Hi Michael,
Could everybody access to the Wiki and modify it ?

Johan,
I just wanted to remind you (and everyone) that Github offers a Wiki
feature
so we have a nice way to house at least some documentation (probably
mostly
related to actually working on OpenJFX itself) already.
I think 3.) is somewhat pie-in-the-sky and it is my humble opinion that
time
would be better spent documenting for other prospective developer's how
we (the contributors) actually work on JavaFX. How do we set up IDEs,
configure build systems, debug native code, etc. etc.
I am trying to make setting up a local dev environment as painless
as possible on Windows for working on JavaFX and there is a tie-in
to that effort with having Appveyor scripts that share the same
build/setup
logic. I have made some progress thereof, I want to make more.
Cheers,
Michael Ennen

It has been mentioned a number of times that JavaFX would benefit from
a
JavaFX website.
I see a number of options that fall in the category website:
1. A set of pages with details on what OpenJFX is, how to build, where
to
download and get release notes, how to contribute, roadmap,... That is
what
I believe can perfectly be done in the OpenJFX wiki. It can be the
reference manual
2. A set of pages targeting new and existing JavaFX developers, with a
focus on where to download, how to get started (maven/gradle/IDE's),
where
to get docs/tutorials and probably with some links to third party
libraries
(free/commercial). This is sort of the user manual.
3. A highly interactive community site, gathering tweets/blog posts
etc,
more or less similar to what James Weaver and Gerrit Grunwald did
years
ago.
For 1: I think this is up to us (OpenJFX committers) to maintain and
improve. It will also benefit the people here.
For 2: This is the most important thing, I believe. It would be great
if a
number of people from this list step up to organize this. It can be a
static website, a github page, or anything else. I don't think this
strictly belongs under OpenJFX (which I consider to be the technical
development umbrella) but it's extremely important to have.
I think this is a perfect opportunity for people and companies who
want to
get more active in JavaFX to get involved in.
For 3: That would be nice, but I think it's too ambitious for now. I
would
be happy with a static, simple, clear website.
