I think that the biggest problem with the previous Wiki was that it
suffered bit-rot rather quickly. Especially now that many of the links
and meeting minutes previously exchanged on the Wiki are ending up in
the even planner, (a.k.a. cat herder) I wonder exactly what kind of
content we're hoping to host in the Wiki.

If it's primary "encyclopedic" data, then it may indeed be the case
that a Wiki is the best possible repository. I doubt whether the
PDX.rb wiki is going to (or even should) become an authoritative
source of information about any subject sufficiently broad to attract
outside attention, especially given the fact that most everyone in the
group probably already has their own blog.

So, before we start testing out and customizing Wiki packages, I ask
this: what kind of information are we trying to capture with a Wiki,
and can it be better served by a more structured model, like what we
attempted to do with the "herder"?
