There was already a lot of discussion on this topic but no real decision. I think that mediawiki is accepted as the most stable, feature-rich and spam-resistant software around. Given that we dont want to host the wiki ourselves, we need a hosting service: Here's a list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_farms There are no mediawiki-based offers that are completely free. If someone has an idea where/howto host a mediawiki completey free, that would be best! Here my pros and cons for wikia vs wikibooks: 1 +wikia: no costs 2 +wikia: a complete wiki, not just a bunch of pages 3 -wikia: ads 4 +wikibooks: really free, open content 5 -wikibooks: is intended for books/lecture material. vim tips doesnt fit that. A real book would need a structure in chapters,sections etc. For me points 2 and 5 win. But anyway I would love to see a good VimBook on wikibooks. Other ideas/votes? Sebastian.
