I think one could try to start maintaining a wiki for gnustep using
service at wikia.com
since they don't prevent anonymous contributions and you are not on
your own
maintaining everything since there are staffs who will be helping
around every wikias,
GNUstep's own was locked due to spammers, it's very annoying to used
especially
when I didn't want to contact webmasters. I've been working on
http://th.blender.wikia.com/
for a while and never have any spam problem.
