Re: [OSCOM] volunteers?

Hi,

a Wiki is a nice thing however we found out that it is quite complicated
sometimes.

Without pushing something into one direction, what about using one of
our CMS instead of the Wiki?

We at Joomla! started a new developer portal based on Joomla!
integrating a Wiki and a blog on one end. The basic idea is that using
the CMS is much simpler for the devs to contribute structured
information that using a wiki.


To answer your question Gregor,

a communication plattform where we can scrabble down the ideas is most
of what I would need. The mailing list is fine as a communication device.


I can offer to setup such a plattform somewhere (even on one of my own
servers) or you tell me some access to a different mashine.
