Hello vimmers, I don't understand why Google Wiki is being discussed here as the main solution. As I see it there are a few _major_ disadvantages of using it:
- it has software limitations that a large community, such as ours, can't cope with - it's managed and offered by a third party organization - we don't have controls of what features we want in and/or out or the way the layout/code/roadmap goes - it's a commercial product and Vim will be asociated with it in the long run - Google is as corporate as you can get, corporations and OpenSource don't mix well together (there are tons of examples) - from what I've read in this thread it doesn't even have all the features needed for a working Vim-tips wiki On the other hand mediawiki seems the best solution for something like this: - it's *OpenSource* - it offers an easy management environment - it can support high loads of traffic (see wikipedia) - it has multi-language support - it's easy to customize and improve - it's not chown()-ed by any corporation I know I'm not a regular here, but I read most of the mail I get from vim@ and don't quite get why you people are seriously considering this. So I thought I'd drop my two cents and hope that someone can shed some light. Thanks, Paul.
