Just my 2 cents: Any site documenting/hosting a web2py community should be web2py, I don like google groups i don't like the idea of joining in a non web2py wiki. I can see it is easier and makes even more sense to reuse something good but if the docu/community platform isn't a web2py show-off

I think you should have more appreciation for Massimo, he probably has enough on his hands without trying to herd cats as well. As he says, everyone can create their documentation, and he will link to it .The community itself can have a central page where they are all linked to. On 11 February

Hi List members, Each user will have different experiences , expertise and expectations. So ultimately we need to agree upon something, ideally, the solution should reduce Massimo's workload wrt documentation. I think members on this list expect Massimo to officially bless one or two solutions.
