The Open Wiki concept looks great but I'm not sure it
addresses many of the problems with current
documentation and references. It's simple enough
to add listings, and the formatting looks great (though
not all that different from html), but...
Is povray.tirnalong.com a website that could disappear
should you disappear? What happens to all the pages
and images should that happen?
Will there be a common concept/format to allow for quick and
easy browsing to make it useful as a reference? Are there
cross-referencing and indexing tools to allow for quick and
easy access for researching specific topics?
Will anyone be driving the site, i.e. pushing for contributions,
identifying needs, providing incentives, etc.?
Sorry to be a bit slow, but I'm not sure saying "here's
a place to post text and photos" is enough to provide the
kind of comprehensive reference I had in mind. Without
the structure of something like Mike Williams' site and
a common vision or driving force I'm not sure it will be
any more useful than the many current (well done and
useful) tutuorials scattered around the internet.

Yes. Just like any other web site. However, imp.org has been up for
about six years and it resides on the same server.

I could setup a nightly offsite backup. Anyone want to donate ftp space.

Built into OpenWiki.

I won't push. I may nudge from time to time as interesting discussions
arise on this server. Hopefully others will do the same, and the
natural power of a wiki will come into play. There are a few wiki
fairies and gnomes who frequent these newsgroups.

And it may not be, however It does provide a place for people to
collaborate on documentation easily. It is just a tool for people to
use. Time will tell if this works or not for the community.

Maybe if it takes off we can ask about having povray.org
host the information. Over the years I've seen a lot of websites
disappear but the POV-Ray organization seems pretty solid.
How does the OpenWiki relate to the Wikipedia? I notice there
is a different look (red/green links) to the OpenWiki. Once it
has some useful information I assume a link can be added to
the Wikipedia.

Nice to see the Find is limited to just the POV-Ray portion,
that will make searches quicker and more useful. Hopefully
it will work better than the POV-Ray Newsgroups Google
search (the old search was much more useful).

It looks promising and it certainly will have my support, looking
forward to seeing how it evolves!
