<@Didactylos> PovAddict: World Community Grid plan on having their own wiki for project specific stuff. I think it would be great if all major projects could do the same.<@Didactylos> However, I realise that isn't practical for small projects.<PovAddict> I think it would be better if projects added official content to a single wiki<@Didactylos> As for what David will do.... try it and see :-)<@Didactylos> PovAddict: projects are autonomous. That's the thing that really seemed to annoy Paul, but it's very important from an open source perspective.<PovAddict> I agree with having them autonomous<PovAddict> but, according to that big thread on SETI, admins everywhere are so busy with maintaining the project that they don't have time to talk to users; imagine if they would have time to setup wiki software *and* add content to it!<@Didactylos> Indeed.<@Didactylos> I would be most in favour of repurposing UBW specifically for project documentation, for those that want it - with lots of interwiki back to official BOINC documentation.<@Didactylos> That's my best case scenario.<@Didactylos> I expect the official WCG wiki to be similarly heavy on the interwiki.<@Didactylos> I'm not going to stop anyone using the official BOINC wiki for project stuff (although DA might). I think it's a bad idea, though.
