Hi,

i agree with jow. what has been missing so far is the people willing to
dedicate part of their time into gardening the wiki. taking on the
maintainership of the wiki is not a small task but a rather large one
that will eat a lot of time and will continue to do so for months/years.
the risk that i see is that people are very excited and active at the
start but then after 3-6 months the excitement will fade out yet the
wiki will still require the day2day gardening. it would be a shame to
end up in such a situation.

at the end of the day its a community wiki and should be maintained by
the community. offloading the packages feed to the community. offloading
large parts of the lede workflow to community members also worked well
so i dont see why the wiki wont work if there are enough interested people.

if a team taking care of this can be setup then i would like to see them
decide which software/markup to use and we can install the wiki on the
infra, help maintain the infra part and endorse the wiki. would be
pretty awesome if we can pull that off.
