I have dedicated hundreds of unpaid hours to get the current website ( less than two years alive ) working, it has been a tone of work migrating from the old trac: hundreds of articles, outdated documentation, joomla template tweaking, etc. We -the community- discussed the structure, the technology to use, less than two years ago. I did it happy to be contributing to the OSG community. Maybe the result is not the best for all the people. And for sure it can be improved. But first try to improve that we already have, before reinventing the wheel. What I had to remark with my first mail was the fact that adding documentation to the website is quite easy, or at least that's my point of view. A wiki won't make a difference, you should ask for permissions and then edit some page, or do some new page. I didn't want to sound rude so my answer was something like: go and hit to the wall yourself, I'm not gonna do it twice, if you come with something better it will be ok.
