That's excellent! You'll be of great help to us then :)

I beg to differ on this. Wikis may not be suitable for huge `corporate'
websites, but our requirements are pretty small and a wiki will be
enough for us. We can lock down a few pages in case of static contents
and let the other portions evolve with time. Take a look at the Mono [1]
website. They are using MediaWiki for their whole web operations.
PmWiki is also an excellent product. I forgot to put that up in the
list. My personal favourite, is of course Moinmoin since I am a Python
guy myself and don't really consider most PHP wikis secure enough. :)
Nevertheless, let's reach a consensus on this, after that we'll see what
we can do ... we would need to customise the wiki to complement the look
and feel of the Ubuntu wikis anyway.

> I voted for Mediawiki, by the way ;)
Hehe ;)

Regards,
BG
