www.Pickwiki.com *is* disorganized, despite heroic attempts from Wendy, Rex and Tony to wrangle the content. Simpler is usually better, but pickwiki may be a little too simple - Tony did a lot of work porting 90% to mediawiki, but it's probably too much for one person to take on.
As for assurances for the future, I will not sell or give the wiki to a commercial entity. I don't plan on shutting it down ever, and I make a nightly tarball of the articles and software used to run the wiki so that everyone who wants a copy of their content for safekeeping can have it. It costs me $20/month for a low-end VPS that I use for other side projects, so the cost is minimal, and I've met (virtually) some great people who have shared a lot of their time and expertise with no expectation of a return. <ad> Consider this a plug to share information and tips in blog posts (where you own the content or platform) and on pickwiki (which may get you a minutely larger audience) as well as this mailing list. The more we share, the richer we become. </ad> -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett Sent: Monday, August 05, 2013 5:35 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] XAdmin wiki? You know, I'd have no problem updating documentation to a "wiki" site, where I know all documentation would go and I could continue to reference the documentation in the future. The "Pickwiki" is a little disorganized, but since I do most of my database work with U2 I'd be happy to update anything to a "wiki" they provide. The biggest problem I see is the changing technology. Everything changes, including wikis! Simple is always better, and since we're all developers to one degree or another, we don't need a completely idiot-proof environment; just someone at U2's end who can keep us idiots in line and keep the site organized. Just my $.02. :-) Bill ----- Original Message ----- *From:* dave...@gmail.com *To:* U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> *Date:* 8/5/2013 4:57 PM *Subject:* Re: [U2] XAdmin wiki? > Hi: > > The problem is not whether you need a wiki or not.
