If this is going to be a community maintained product, wouldn't it be better to have a wiki solution for most of the documentation where everyone could directly help editing it instead of having you as an intermediate step. You can still have a real web site for the very first page, but having a wiki in the background which everyone can help edit and add information to feels like a better long term solution, will be easier for people to help maintaining it over time and everyone would feel like they are part of it as they can edit the information directly. Or is there a reason you want to have the content on a normal web site ? Using a wiki is pretty standard among other open source projects as far as I've seen. I suggested the same for the FAQ which was created earlier: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98653-Community-Squeeze-FAQ Since everything is planned to be non commercial (unless I've missed something) and Squeezebox related you could even use Logitech's wiki at http://wiki.slimdevices.com and just link to the page from your front page if you don't want to setup your own wiki solution. Keeping a backup of a few pages of the Logitech wiki on nighly bases is easy if you just want to be sure the information isn't lost if Logitech would suddenly decide to shut it down. However, if you are unsure about the future of the Logitech wiki, a separate wiki could make sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
