It would be cool to blend the functionality that gobby provides into the wiki software. > * You don't need an account I would have thought that the number of people who can usefully contribute to UWN who have not got a Launchpad account is as close to zero as makes no difference. In fact, as the original poster mentioned, there are some barriers to entry to gobby too (although surely there is a KDE frontend?). It seems to me that your second advantage can in any event be preserved by using gobby and allowing people to contribute anyway via the wiki. When a gobby session is open, there is probably a clever way to mark the wiki page as "edit in progress" and when it finishes, people can contribute on the wiki again. But as I said, I'm not familiar with the particular workflow of the UWN, so maybe that is not the way things are done.
