Personally, I would avoid anything based on PHP. It's amazing what people build with that poorly designed language, but it still doesn't make it look like a god choice. > 1. Will Canonical host it? If not, then who? I would not count on Canonical. Especially not on any buy-in prior to us having something in our hands. I think there's a "words are cheap, see who actually delivers" at work, combined with everyone being busy enough already. After making sure we will tackle the right problem, the primary concern on the technical side should be cutting down the required development effort. Not at the cost of justified features, but by starting with an informed choice of language and framework. Even if that makes hosting more difficult/expensive, as developer time is very precious. We could try to collect donations for hosting, once there is something to show. > 2. What does Canonical plan to do with the current Wiki and when. There's a theme update in the pipeline, but AFAIK that's all they plan to change regarding the wiki. What all the other teams and Canonical want to use for their collaborative documentation needs is up to them. What I have in mind will be for this team and anyone else who wants to work on design/artwork in the FLOSS realm in a structured way. Not tying it to Ubuntu will only make it more valuable, as GNOME, application projects and even other distributions could use it, too. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
