I throw in another idea and do suggest to use Confluence at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB/Apache+CouchDB+Wiki
* we have that already set up * it is run and supported by the ASF (INFRA) * everyone with an account can create pages * you can upload images easily * everyone with an account can comment * we do not have to set up anything - we can start NOW Thoughts? Cheers Andy P.S.: @ermouth: I like Inliner, P.P.S: personally, I don't like medium at all due to some bad experiences I made last week. The commenting does not support code and the UX is horrible (and faulty).
