Description

Depnds on #6 (CMS setup)

A wiki is needed to help users annotate the documentation, and make it easier to grow it organically. This wiki will probably not be the Trac wiki, which we'll probably only use for project administration and internal documentation.

The choice for the outward wiki seems to be MediaWiki?, as it also has links to Drupal.

The wiki will have links from all the documentation for annotation purposes.

Other thoughts from earlier:

  • A wiki is needed for quick and dirty addition of information, particularly for API docs annotations. It might also be possible to use the wiki for deeper documentation, as a wholesale documentation site, then in the meaning as a manual. Which wiki should we use?
  • DSource with Trac : This would have to be set up as a new project at DSource, possibly without a svn repository, unless there are docs/other things that cover more than one of the participating projects. Pro for this solution is that Trac at some point (might already be possible) will gain intertrac wikilinks, meaning we could get almost 100% between the wikis of the participating projects. Trac also has the added value features ticket system and roadmap. Brad has setup a Trac project here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/vitamin
  • External with what would most likely be MediaWiki? (powerful, and no camelcase): Pro for this is that it won't have the trac feel which possibly can pull some attention away from the project itself, but this is a minor issue in larsivi's opinion (and Kris' also). Peri points out that MediaWiki? has a tabbed layout, and thus tends to look less cluttered.
