Re: [Gnumed-devel] GNUmed website

[David Grant]

I'm willing to take on the task of deciding which one to use.  If I feel 
I can implement it and get it going I'll ask Horst about server 
details.  I know I can set up twiki, because I've done it before.  But I 
just don't know if it is the best.

I found MoinMoin, a python-based wiki.  It might be fitting to use it 
since gnumed is python-based.  At least it seems to be popular with the 
python crowd.  See: http://twistedmatrix.com/wiki/python/FrontPage and 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/

I saw this: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/sandbox/ianb/wiki/, but I 
have no idea what to do with it.  I have no idea what reST is either.  
If someone wants to enlighten me on this, please do.

Do we really need portability to docbook right now?  How about use any 
old wiki, whatever is deemed best, and then once the documentation 
becomes more mature, port it to whatever else, stick it in CVS and work 
from there.  OR, just leave it in wiki forever.  Any thoughts about 
this?  Two questions:

What is the main idea behind using a wiki (for gnumed)?
And what is the main point behind using docbook (for gnumed docs)?

I have my own answer for this, but I'm curious what a few other people 
think.  I just want to clarify to help in choosing a wiki implementation.
