A Centos-Enterprise oriented wiki is a great idea. We need a place to host it. Does Centos.org have the resources to add this to their site? (= extra storage, Bandwidth, time to install and administer or willingness to let others on their server to do same?) Its a lot too ask, but if Centos.org is willing, then great. Donovan, what do you think? Or are there any other community members who could host a wiki? It doesn't have to be a wiki per se. Any mechanism that allows contributors to add pages to a web site (even via email) would be a useful tool.

Perhaps we community members need to step up to the plate to create this. I can volunteer some time to install and administer a wiki. Mediawiki is a very powerful wiki system. Its the one Wikipedia uses but its slow and very resource intensive. If we have to run a wiki we should run one that is lighter. > Just my two rupees worth ;-) I belong to India, so can't give in US cents ;-) I'll take it! 2 INR for $0.02 USD is a great exchange rate. :-) -- Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. speech recognition software may have been used to create this e-mail
