Re: Git Wiki improvements

Depending on the level of customization your really looking for, you
could always make a request to kernel.org to host the wiki ( already
hosting ext4.wiki.kernel.org, btrfs.wiki.kernel.org,
moin.wiki.kernel.org, etc)

It's running a shared hosted version of mediawiki, however I know for a
fact the admin doesn't want to do *too* much customization of the
underlying wiki and doesn't have a lot of time to devote to it, he's
good at keeping it running but the content / customization would need to
be handled by a more dedicated person.
