Description Aldo "xoen" Giambelluca 2004-12-27 15:41:44 UTC
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?

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.
Comment 2 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-11-11 04:46:38 UTC
Lets give this further thought now...
Comment 3 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2008-11-11 04:56:07 UTC
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. 
Comment 4 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-11-11 05:49:06 UTC
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...
Comment 6 Mike Doty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-11-11 14:42:19 UTC
gentoo-wiki.com is back.  It doesn't make sense to have 2 competing wikis.

Back for how long?  This is something we should just make official since so many of our users depend upon this resource.

That doesn't address the issue.

Discussion was started on the wrong list.

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
Comment 12 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-19 07:28:39 UTC
What is https://hardenedwiki.gentoo.org ?

How do i get a perlwiki.gentoo.org?
Comment 13 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-19 09:19:20 UTC
If infra sponors a box, I'll start recruiting a wiki team.
Comment 14 404 Error 2009-12-22 12:05:45 UTC
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...
Comment 15 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) gentoo-dev 2011-10-31 12:20:58 UTC
The Wiki is up and running at http://wiki.gentoo.org and will be officially announced soon.
