That is what we need most of at the moment.

I'm in the process of converting my website from bamboo to ikiwiki
(and adding a blog to it), doing the static thing too, it looks
interesting so far. The ikiwiki.info site shows how it can work as a
collaborative wiki engine. Only thing would be converting current
mediawiki content to markdown, I tend to think that switching to
ikiwiki (if we want to) would be something low priority to do bit
later.

Any other ideas for forum software? I think we do need one,

I agree there.

Yep, that article is why I mentioned it.

Yeah, and using ikiwiki (with the svn/git backends) would help further
here. BTW, xerakko has done some work on this, and also committed some
parts of the wiki to the synfig-docs svn.

synfig.org was previously just a white page like this:

I don't currently have any information about that, I'll try to find
out what the deal is.

That would be good, especially if you can convince rore to go with you
and show off some synfig art/animation.

Well, #3 includes sound support.
