Setting up a wiki for GNU Project volunteers?

[Carlos O'Donell]

Wikis are useful software that allows developers to work
collaboratively and quickly on informal documents that are part of the
day-to-day running of the packages or project activities.

This includes documenting such things as:
- Email thread summaries
- Status updates
- Meeting notes
- Summaries of discussions around best practice activities

In researching this kind of wiki setup I have discussed the issue with
various GNU Maintainers and the consensus seems to be that such a
system should have the following qualities:
- Based on a VCS e.g. git
- Uses a supported wiki platform e.g. dokuwiki
- With a sensible markup e.g. markdown plugin for dokuwiki

What do people think about setting up a wiki?

Several packages already have wikis like:
The GNOME Project (https://wiki.gnome.org/)
The GNU C Library wiki (https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/)
The GNU Debugger wiki (https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/)
The GNU Compiler Collection wiki (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki)

However, we have no good central community wiki to put document those
things listed above.

Does anyone have a strong opinion on which wiki software should be used?

Selection criteria for a wiki? I'm suggesting dokuwiki + git.

Access controls for the wiki? Anyone who volunteers or wants to
volunteer their time to the GNU Project?

Where could we host a wiki like this without causing confusion with
official project content?

Lastly, for direct discussion of the GNU Coding Standards and
Information for GNU Maintainers please see
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-standards. Wiki summaries
could feed into discussions on bug-standards or bug-standards
discussion could get summarized into the wiki to build consensus for
particular changes.

Looking forward to any feedback volunteers want to provide.

Cheers,
Carlos.
