If the whole site is supposed to move to a wiki, than this thread should be about the whole site requirements and not the wiki only I guess. If that is so, I would like to add the requirement of a dbish or tableish feature. Groups or projects that try to add data in tabular form and features to search through that data are currently pretty lost. Example: we are trying to create an index of all FOSS software available for the opensolarises and to which group they belong (blastwave, sunfreeware, sfe, sfw, other...). Pretty impossible without access to a tool that can handle tabular data for us. Oh and I am still wondering why we are not using OpenSSO for the authentication, authorisation and permissions sytem. Is there anything wrong with that project, that we haven't taken it into consideration ?
