I'd like to move the developer wiki to it own VPS, and out of the core
developer one, just to save against potential 'web based security holes' ...
would it be an idea ot setup a seperate 'advocacy wiki', along the lines of
what you are suggesting (with suitable moderation / review) from the developer
one, which would remian closed?

And, do you have the time / energy to actually moderate such a beast ... I
think one of the bigger fears is ppl uploading mis-information into such an
"official wiki", and I think that fear is fairly justified with the amount of
spam-bots going around filling in forms left-right-and-center ...

Personally, I can see the benefit of what you are suggesting, but do think that
a certain amount of control / moderation is required to keep it clean and
accurate ... then again, maybe we want Al Dev back again? For those that don't
know the name, he into 'creative technical writing' that is akin to 'the aliens
are coming' :)
