Okay, that looks really nice ! Very good idea ! A couple of comments: - in the utility APIs, I think the URI parsing is generally useful - for the python bindings that should be split into the default bindings and lxml > I'm blocking search engine robots in robots.txt at the moment. > > As you can see I've styled the wiki to look similar to xmlsoft.org.

I would prefer if the wWiki could be hosted somewhere else, but I'm fine adding a DNS record pointing to the Wiki, and links. Also I think the Wiki should be seen as the content editing side of the project, it could regulary be imported into SVN doc and hence available (statically) in xmlsoft.org. That way the only traffic needed for the wiki side should be for the people editing, the main traffic would still be on the xmlsoft.org site. One of my reluctance on Wiki is that you only get transcient informations, the state can change dramatically and in general it's hard to ensure you won't loose good content. That's why I prefer a dual view one for edit and regular imports (and checking at that stage) onto more static content. Opinions ? thanks a lot !
