Again I suggest holding off until the new Website and wiki go live, which will be imminent.

If the new one uses MediaWiki I would likely be able to assist some. (These days I'm too lazy to learn another markup.)

Sounds absolutely appropriate to me. :number1:

The "only" problem with that is that MediaWiki look & feel would never be able to handle the look (theming) of a Wordpress site.

Really, that's not a PROBLEM on this forum. THIS is a FORUM, not a users manual (or a Wiki).

The current antiX/MX wiki isn't really a wiki, but it is GOOD. It's more like an extension of useful information and I personally appreciate it for what it is. I wish I had the bandwidth to put my hat in the ring.

Mod note Eadwine: Topic locked. MX team needs to discuss this first. Wait for team leaders please, they will determine what can be done by others.


edit: Reopened, apologies Manyroads for locking temporarily. We need to set parameters among the Devs, hence. Thanks everyone for your patience!

I appreciate Bluesguy's initiate that new comers and members from other distros are coming. This wiki topic came up in the process. And few members got interested to discuss what can be done. Thanks, manyroads for starting this thread.

At this stage I will wait until the new MX site and wiki is up and running. I had a look at the WP wiki-plugins, there are few concerning questions. Maybe MX team has an other solution. See you later in this thread.

No problem @Eadwine. I am happy to hear what the devs think best for a Wiki.... :number1:
