[glob2-devel] Wiki board

[Gabriel Walt]

Hello!

I would like to make some things clear about what I think the wiki board is 
good to and what not.

I think that wiki is not good for discussions. Because you have no way to see 
that there's a discussion going on in a wiki page if you don't check them all 
regularly. We should use this mailing list to discuss stuff, that's much easier.

I think that the manual (for eg.) should be fully written in xml docbook and 
not in wiki. Because if people add stuff to the wiki version of the manual we 
then have to extract each modification by hand and add it to the docbook 
manual. It's the same for any other content that is aimed to be integrated into 
the official documentation (docbook) or the website (olaf).

That's the reason why it would be really great to have a wolaf (olaf wiki 
feature), because the editor is fully generic, you can edit txt, olaf syntax or 
xml docbook. And the top of the top would be an integration with the savannah 
cvs, so that anyone could very easily edit and create any document that were 
allowed for public access. There must be a way to translate on the fly docbook 
to html (with xsl?), and thus the latest version would always be availible 
online (such as for wiki or olaf). Thus, it could even be possible to extend 
olaf to a docbook (or whatever xml) syntax...

Please tell me what you think about all that. Is this just a 04:40am 
hallutination, or does it make sense?
