We're not going to replace the forums with a wiki. They serve two totally |
| 10 |
different purposes. |

I generally dislike wikis and, while I'm not opposed to supporting one if |
| 13 |
the need is clear, I'd rather see a different solution to solving the |
| 14 |
user-contributed documentation problem. GLEP 15 would be one example -- |
| 15 |
that's primarily intended for scripts, but the same sort of idea could be |
| 16 |
used for user-contributed docs as well. |

At any rate, nothing is going to get done until someone cares enough to |
| 19 |
write up and submit a GLEP for discussion. |
