Panda3D Manual: Josh YelonHi Josh, I've been thinking about the Wiki things. There are a few issues: From your point of view, the issues are: - you dont really want to advertise the wiki pages, because you dont want people knowing the manual is a wiki, for various reasons. This is understandable. From my point of view: - I cant tell anyone about the orphaned wiki (see above), so its just me, on my own, which sucks really - theres no way for me to backup the contents of the wiki. Whilst I'm reasonably sure you take the necessary precautions to backup your data, accidents do happen, and the easiest solution seems to be that each person has the possibility of running backups themselves. For example, sf.net allows anyone to download a tar of the entire cvs contents, at any time. - I'm unsure about the implications of the licence text at the bottom of the page. I'd be much more comfortable using GNU Free Documentation Licence 1.2. So, my solution at this point, because I know you're busy, is that I've set up a new wiki here: http://manageddreams.com/pandawiki.
How do you feel about this? What do you think? Hugh Edit: by the way, just to be explicit, if you decide that you want to host this wiki yourself, along similar lines, I'll gladly give you a full database dump to load into it. (The backup in the tar strips out email addresses and passwords for security).
