This should happen (if at all) on a per article basis imho. Having the |
| 7 |
option to do so (if we want to) is a plus we should consider, though. |

Mediawiki sounds like what we want probably, mainly because it seems to |
| 21 |
be the most popular one. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Besides that: |
| 24 |
- Ubuntu and Debian are using MoinMoin |
| 25 |
- Fedora and OpenSUSE use Mediawiki |

It's not that I'm able to invest really much time for this, but if it's |
| 41 |
needed to get this finally rolling - count me in. Plus it shouldn't be |
| 42 |
much of an issue, if editing is limited to registered users (at least |
| 43 |
when speaking of Spam). |

Fully ack. |

In addition I'd like to establish a Wiki team with both developers and |
| 54 |
experienced users who are able to review Wikipages (specifically every |
| 55 |
revision of a page) and tag those pages as reviewed. Something not that |
| 56 |
difficult, but that'll allow for some QA. See |
| 57 |
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs for reference. |
