Hi Jason,

I've already thought about this a lot; definitely a wiki for the Library - with access only to devs to make changes; a wiki doesn't have to allow just anyone to make a change and I don't think that's a good idea. I've already introduced MedaWiki at work (it powers Wikipedia.com) and would really want to get this on reactos.com for our Library -- probably a few other pages as well.
Either a wiki or rosdocs is cool with me. I dont really care as long as it has version control and its a system thats easy for people to use. For now I have updated rosdocs as well as using the wiki on mok and will keep doing so until we have a working system in place.
I don't want to see a wiki only site. A wiki doesn't enforce structure, which is nice for something like a blog or list of compatible hardware/software, or forum. We'll use the best software suited to the job -- this means that a lot of effort will have to go into integration: search but more importantly login.
What would really be nice would be if we could extend rosdocs and a wiki a bit to be able to read the OpenOffice XML format. It would make writing/uploading documentation easy.
It's just that to get there is a ton of work! The website needs its own roadmap, for sure.
T on IRC has offered to help with the website.
- We need to develop relationships with vendors.
Yeah, as you said, once we're a bit further on.
I think there is some work we can start on this now. I am going to start attempting to get a large hardware donation for ReactOS developers. It would be really nice if we all had semi-good laptops to use to demo ReactOS to others.
Thanks Steven
