I don't think there really are any that are particularly more 'modern' or less quirky than mediawiki. Project wikis in general are going out of style these days (the infra team would quite like to get rid of ours, but I won't let them :>) A lot of the reason the wiki is still around is people (like me...) doing advanced stuff with templates and ParserFunctions which probably wouldn't be easily transferable to any other software either. > > If what you're writing falls under the general heading of > > 'documentation', you might want to write it for docs.fedoraproject.org > > rather than the wiki. docs.fp.o is built by a static generator and uses > > the ASCIIDoc markup language.

I don't really interact with it much myself, I use the wiki more. So that page is really all I know. You could contact the docs team on IRC for more details I guess, if no-one else answers this thread. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
