Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear website on wiki

Hi, I think having the wiki as default page for the project makes a lot of sense, there is way more information on the Wiki at this point, and it's pretty well organized. Of course, a few key pages would need to be locked-down (or maybe not, I'm an optimist !!). And dynamic pages like the aircraf

This discussion has branched out in a couple directions, but let me just share a couple of my own thoughts. 1. I've been playing around with wordpress for my own selfish purposes: http://www.flightgear.org/blogs/category/ I *really* like wordpress. It's slick, it's well done, it's well conceive
