I guess this is a FAQ entry. Do you see any other project on sourceware.org which is using (shudder) wiki? The point that seems to be consistently missed here is that cygwin.com is not the sole consumer of resources on the system where the domain resides. Adding a service like wiki would mean getting buy-in from people running the system over at 'overseers'. Once you get buy-in, you'd also need someone to install the software and tweak the web server. I'm not looking for new things to support, personally. I think I made that clear not too long ago in another thread. I don't think that Corinna would be thrilled about maintaining wiki either. Another point is that I don't want another official forum to police and I doubt if Corinna wants to be scanning web pages looking for people giving incorrect advice either. So, the obstacles would be getting buy-in from overseers and finding someone to police the pages. Anyone is welcome to start a discussion over at overseers at sourceware dot org, however. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
