Greetings, I am currently trying to upgrade the website. What I want to achieve is move completely from the old website[0] on SourceForge to the synce.org website[1]. However, the latter also needs an upgrade as the wiki is getting heavily laden, becoming harder to navigate, and getting out-of-date.
The idea is not to have documentation on the website but in docbook for the following reasons: * Docs can be read off-line. * Docs are easier to be printed. * Docs are in many different formats -- HTML (chunk/all), PDF, TXT... * Docs can be kept in shape in a presentable format with QA. That was an aside, but I thought I'd share. So basically, documentation shouldn't be thought about wrt. the new site. At the moment, I feel we have the following choices: * Mediawiki[2]: Another wiki. I personally don't like Mediawiki for a number of reasons, but I won't let that cloud my judgement. I already mocked up a new SynCE site with MW[3] a long time ago, but it doesn't quite reflect the newer idea of not having the docs on it anymore! But you can get a taste from it! * MoinMoin[4]: Yet another wiki. However, I personally thing MoinMoin is the wiki king. However, some think that its /bland/ look is off-putting. I understand where they are coming from. For example, bazaar has done a great job[5] at making their MoinMoin installation work well. A good example of MoinMoin working as a main site interface is the MoinMoin project website[4]. * Trac[6]: This /could/ potentially work very well, and link into the SourceForge SVN server. This would mean another, not necessarily bad, change: Migration from SF bug-tracker to Trac. The style argument might also apply, but again magic can indeed happen as Twisted[7] show. * Static site: This is of course another possibility. I could throw something together with something like Django. I'd like to know what peoples' thoughts on this are. Bear in mind that this also involves me setting it up :D Many regards, [0] http://synce.sourceforge.net/ [1] http://www.synce.org/ [2] http://www.mediawiki.org/ [3] http://jonnylamb.no-ip.org/~jonny/synce/ [4] http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de [5] http://bazaar-vcs.org/ [6] http://trac.edgewall.org/ [7] http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ -- Jonny Lamb, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jonnylamb.com GPG: 0x2E039402
