Re: [glob2-devel] Hosting (again I know but we are going forward)

[Martin Voelkle]

Hello 

Now that icclus refused to host either our forum nor yog, I suggest we go for
Kyle's or Mickaël proposal.
What we need:
- Wiki
- Forum
- YOG

I suggest we host the files on savannah, I'm uploading them right now...

I'm not very happy with our actual wiki (pmwiki), specially because adding a
user requires administrator action, which is very very bad to attract new
people.

I'm not very happy with our actual forum (phpbb), because it seems quite prone
to hacking, although that if it is installed using debian-pavages it should
be ok.

I'm very happy with YOG ;-)


On the long term, I would like to reduce the amount of work required on
administrating the server things. In particular, I would like to unify the
wiki and the forum, because having two community areas is too much. I thus
suggest we use mediawiki engine, and use talk pages for the forum-like
feature.

What do you think? Who would be ready to help moving the things to the new
system?

Talk pages are not meant to replace forums, just to link a discussion
page to a content page, which is not a good replacement for a forum. It
would be better to go for a plain old wiki (mediawiki can do that too).
The downside of mediawiki is that it requires a database back-end,
which might be a problem or not.

And why is authentification necessary on this wiki?
