Hi Bram, If that smaller things you find do not fit in any of the OSG website categories, I'll be happy to have a wiki to collect them. There exists quite a lot of posts on this same topic in the OSG mailing list, so it is not a new discussion :). At the end we chose joomla, you can follow the discussions in the archives, but I think that decission is not written in a stone.
The main problem of having a new wiki is the lack of community support for this tasks, until very recently we have had lack of forum moderators (I don't know how it is going that now, as I use the mailing list), and also lack of help to migrate the old trac to the new Joomla instance. That's why I always try to encourage the community members to post to the website. I guess the wiki should have moderators aswell, to prevent from spammers and to prevent to have erroneus information in it. Said that, feel free to step in and build a wiki, I will be happy to post a link in the joomla instance, and collaborate as much as I can :). Moreover, I believe dreamhost has one-click installers for many flavours of wikis, so if you implement something in any of the most common wiki frameworks it shouldn't be too hard to migrate it to the OSG server. In the meantime if you see something that could be in the OSG website and it is not, please don't hesitate to post that. Cheers. <cite> Hopefully last post off topic: creating a good wiki with a good basic structure that has the possibility to cover all important classes and functions in OSG, and can be easily added to by all, is a huge difference from giving people who ask it full access to post whatever OSG related material he/she wants on the OSG website. In the first I would easily add some knowledge that i found on the forum which was hard to find, but if I want to add something to the OSG website I would have to write some kind of guide, but that's not the right format for the smaller things that I find out. I hope you can understand the difference I'm trying to explain. for example: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal/nl <- it had quite an extended page for each function in the script language. The creators make basic pages about the functionality, and the enthusiasts add their specific knowledge to it, and it works really well... </off topic> </cite> -- Jordi Torres
