I have seen, there are some unofficial wiki-site for Gentoo, (f.e. http://www.gentoo-wiki.com, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_Linux, or the italian http://wiki.gentoo-italia.net/index.php/Main), this is wondeful, but...I think should be better have one official gentoo wiki, with some sub-sections for the traslation, or not? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
We don't plan on ever providing a wiki in that form. Its been discussed in the past and I don't see it happening for a long time if it does.
Lets give this further thought now...
As one of the infra folk, my vote on it is yes, but the limit of Infra involvement would be managing the server and some of the coding/patching issues for MediaWiki itself. Zero of the day-to-day content administration - other people would _HAVE_ to participate in that, incl. rigorous pruning of spam, or else I'd just shut the entire thing down to avoid spam.
Indeed. It's due to that Gentoo provide a proper wiki to allow the community to self maintain. My vote would be to be to invite any/all of the existing forums/forum-mods staff into this for the day to day admin roles of the service.
Looks good...
gentoo-wiki.com is back. It doesn't make sense to have 2 competing wikis.

@docs: How do you guys feel about this?

I would like to have a wiki to organize things or do collaborative work. Like events, stuff that needs to be done in the perl herd,... Other examples where I think it might be useful: - defining and tracking goals for the distribution in general (like http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features). As example: - scm migration without reading the whole mailing list archive - use wiki instead of google tools to work on EAPI 3 - council puts their agendas in local dev space or mailing lists
What is https://hardenedwiki.gentoo.org ? How do i get a perlwiki.gentoo.org?
If infra sponors a box, I'll start recruiting a wiki team.
Knowing the high quality of the documentation, an official wiki would be great. However, having several wikis is not an issue as some may contain informations that others don't IMHO. For those who read french, an effort had been started by some french/french canadian members of the Gentoo community a couple of months ago : http://www.gentoo-quebec.org/wiki It it could help the things getting done...
The Wiki is up and running at http://wiki.gentoo.org and will be officially announced soon.
