Hi,
was there ever any discussion about using a wiki for phpMyAdmin homepage?
I think this will make it more easy to contribute documentation, faq, hints and help, especially in foreign languages.
On the other hand we are somehow limited in design, but i think (up to date) information is more important than design!
At least the documentation.
And is it possible to check the current webpage into the cvs? ... and update it from there on a automatically basis?

AFAIK not.

I think providing wiki is good idea, but only as additional source of information with "official" pages.
And be prepared for lot of spam...

I also wanted to do this... Take care of storing passwords in cvs, however I don't think there are any.

i know ... but i think we can handle ... with RSS and ROLLBACK it shouldn't be so hard ... ;-)
btw. how is the online translation tool? any news about this? ... i would suggest that translators need also to be informed if the original (english) string has changed - or the 'english' author has to check if this change is important to translators or not

I think we should keep control over what is contributed and the way it is published. For example, I contribute the French translation of xampp.org, sending files to the xampp team. I don't have access to their page.

Yes, and also, due to the team being limited in time, releasing a good 2.8.0 version is more urgent.
At least the documentation.

I sometimes get requests about which engine we are using for our webpage, so some people envy us. I don't think that we can consider it to be open source. At least Michael Keck should speak his views about this.

Why? I don't see a problem with removing wrong content after checking, but anyway, if this really becomes a problem we could only registered users edit pages.

I'm not familiar with all sorts of wikis. Can anyone register? Narc

Usually anyone can register and anyone can edit pages. Most of wiki engines can be configured.
However I prefer to keep current "static" website and add wiki for user contributed documentation, so that community can exchange tips and so on. It often ends in state that documentation in wiki is better than original provided, as it solves problems that people had with the software.
