Let's be careful about trying to make a Wiki into what it is not. It is an OK way to edit content. It is a great way to spur contribution. It is a very easy way to make changes to content. What it is not is a CMS. Once we add the functions of a CMS, it is now a CMS with Wiki-editing functionality. That is not necessarily a bad thing, IMO. Where it makes sense to _not_ use a Wiki, let's not. I think the front page for the project is just such a location: * It does not need regular editing by the community. * It does not need to be hampered by tool functionality. * It does need to be visually appealing. * It does need to be easily changeable by specific editors. A CMS can handle all this. In the meantime, how about using good ol' XHTML and CSS that we check into CVS and is pulled into index.html on an hourly basis? - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Red Hat SELinux Guide http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/
